Courses for teenagers
Intensive Spanish programmes for teenagers are designed not only for language learning, but also to impact on the development of cognitive, social and emotional skills of young learners.
The intensive Spanish course for students between 13 and 17 years old is designed to achieve a rapid learning of the language while working on different skills.
Our courses use the language in its natural context, so that the study of vocabulary and structures of the Spanish language is carried out through different subjects in order to be used in different contexts, both academic and in real daily life.
A motivating methodology is developed, centred on the student, where they develop skills to improve their critical capacity, through discovery and collaborative work, thus encouraging creativity and student autonomy.
The activities proposed are linked to the context and to the areas closest to the students’ interests, with special emphasis on communicative competence.
