Activities for foreign students

Extracurricular activities organised by Academia Avenida al Español

In keeping with the sociocultural communicative approach, our approach to the teaching-learning process of ELE is to conceive it as a set of action-oriented practices. The experience of the language through the cultural practices of the immediate context and the process of immersion of the learner in real interactions constitute a central part of the process of linguistic appropriation and mastery.

For this reason, at Avenida al Español we encourage learning through extra-classroom activities which include walks around the city of Málaga, visits to museums, visits to historical monuments, interaction with foreign and local speakers, an introduction to local and national gastronomy, cultural and artistic celebrations, film screenings and literary activities.

The experiences resulting from these activities are part of the topics, linguistic structures, lexical variety and socio-cultural concerns that are formally addressed in the classroom. At the same time, the grammatical, communicative and lexical contents dealt with during the lessons form the structural basis for dealing with real interaction situations outside the classroom.

Therefore, we offer a wide range of extracurricular activities, taking into account the following aspects:

Cultural immersion

To better understand the customs, traditions and ways of life of Spanish and Andalusian culture.

Spanish language practice

In real life experiences that provide an additional opportunity to practice and improve the language.

Exploring Málaga

We visit historical and touristic places, with the aim of getting to know the history of the city.

Diversity of experiences

To offer a wide range to suit the interests and preferences of our students.

Unforgettable memories and experiences

With the aim of creating lasting memories that will live on in students, even long after they finish their study programmes.

Self confidence enhancement

With the aim of making them feel more comfortable practising the language outside their comfort zone.

Academic enrichment

Seeking a deeper and more contextualised understanding of the language and culture.

Well-being

Through outdoor activities. Apart from promoting local interaction with other people, it stimulates the physical and mental health of our students.
