Description
This dynamic and practical course introduces the fundamental elements of the Spanish language within a cultural context. Our main objective is “real and significant teaching” of the Spanish language.
The course programme is designed for beginner students and it is based on active participation, effective communication and constructive discussion, that is to say, speaking and an active use of the language are central. Moreover, the modules taught combine linguistic, educational and cultural aspects and are fully adjusted to each group specific expectations, needs and level.
While learning and practicing Spanish in a group setting, participants are able to work together to improve their language skills and competences.
Lessons are taught exclusively in Spanish.
The participant is able to:
- Greet somebody and ask how they are.
- Introduce him/herself and give personal information.
- Know and remember vocabulary from basic topics such as colours and professions.
- Ask and tell the time.
- Discuss their likes and dislikes and what they enjoy doing in their free time.
- Know and remember vocabulary from basic topics such as days and months.
- Discovering more about Spanish culture, traditions, gastronomy and lifestyle.
- Place an order in a restaurant.
- Follow a recipe and create their own.
- Give and follow directions.
- Know and remember how to form the present simple tense.
- Know and remember some colloquial Spanish phrases.
The course is designed to encourage active participation of each beneficiary and to use more practice than theory. The following methodologies are to be used:
- Visual learning – a visual source such as a PowerPoint presentation, a guide or an information sheet is provided so that the participant may observe for themselves what is being taught. As teachers they will understand that not every student learns in the same manner and through visual learning they are able to look at/ read what they are learning to further absorb it.
- PowerPoint Presentation – in order to practice their language skills, the participants will have the chance to research a cultural topic and create a presentation on this topic. The act of teaching somebody else,further engrains the material in one’s mind, therefore, this activity is designed to help the participants to reinforce what they have learnt.
- Kinetic learning – the participant will put into practice what they have been taught by completing activities, worksheets and discussions about each topic in order to reinforce their knowledge and to ensure that the vocabulary is retained after the completion of the class.
The participant:
• uses positivity to approach any activity and understands how emotional intelligence can be used to affect the mood of the students,
• takes initiative and has a proactive attitude towards new technologies and situations faced in the classroom,
• has knowledge of teaching in a foreign language and the necessary tools to effectively teach at appropriate levels,
• shows sufficient self-confidence to predict which activities will be positively received by the group or how to adapt them accordingly,
• has the necessary skills to evaluate different teaching methods and styles, which can be used in turn with modern practices.
