General A Long duration

Opis kurzu

General Spanish course with the same structure as the intensive courses (General A, 20 hours a day), intended for those who have more time, for stays between 8 and 52 weeks. The longer duration supposes the reduction of tuition price per week. Of course, the methodology and teaching quality of CastiLa is guaranteed, with a maximum of 6 students per class. As in other courses, the contents, objectives and method are adapted to the communication needs and the level of the student, to guarantee their progression as shown in the CastiLa level scheme.

Methodological approach: what does the course consist of and how will I learn?

The development of the course is based on the continuous practice of Spanish. Combine the practice from grammar with the practice of communication. A series of interactive activities in class, developed from the most advanced perspective of linguistic studies, which aim at the continued participation of the student.

In summary: practical exercises and communication activities to improve the four skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing. Rotation of teachers: these change in each class.

At what rate will I progress

The contents from level A1 to C2 are distributed in 24 modules of 1 week, to which other reinforcement modules can be added, if necessary to overcome levels from A1 to C1, in addition to the specific purpose courses to complete the level C2. This programming guarantees the progressive acquisition of communication skills, from initial levels (even absolute beginners) to mastery (C1 and C2). The student begins in the module corresponding to her level, previously established through an interview and a test.

The adaptability of the method allows the beginner to become familiar with a new language, to start using it and to gain confidence (A1, A2); from intermediate level (B1) make it yours and speak it fluently up to maximum communicative independence (B2); and at the advanced levels (C1, C2) to reach the deepest level for full command of Spanish. All students, regardless of their level, enjoy Spanish from day one in a unique environment for immersion.

Out of class

To achieve the objectives, activities outside of class with teachers are very important. Biweekly programming.
