Course description
Our Junior course is a special summer program for students aged 13- 15 years and Teen Course for 15-17 years old, that combines Spanish language lessons with holidays in the historic university City of Salamanca. Spanish lessons are always organized in small groups, with a maximum of 12 students per class.
Lessons are supplemented by daily cultural and leisure activities, from Mondays to Fridays, and full-day excursions on Saturdays, to offer students the opportunity to experience a new culture and make friends.
COURSE
At the beginning of the course, students will take a placement test so that the academic team finds the group that best suits their proficiency level. They will then receive a brief introductory talk about the city, so that they know how to get to the school, to their host families, and are provided with all the city information needed during their stay.
Lessons take place in the mornings, from Mondays to Fridays. The course consists of 20 lessons per week, organized in three-hour lessons per day. Lessons have a highly communicational approach, and content is specially designed to put into practice all four language skills, and achieve a comprehensive learning of the language while having fun. The materials used in the classroom include content adapted to our four proficiency levels: Beginner, Elementary, Intermediate and Advanced.
