Plan and methodology for the Long-Duration Courses
Spanish class methodology
During classes, all language skills are worked on (listening and reading comprehension, and spoken and written expression). In addition to grammar content, cultural and historical aspects of Spanish culture are also taught to achieve better linguistic immersion in our country. Besides the classes, activities outside the classroom are carried out so that students can put their knowledge to the test in real situations.
Student assessment is carried out continuously through various activities and tests. In addition, the teacher provides personal, private follow-up through our platform.
Excursions and extracurricular activities

– Free activities:
- Scavenger hunt-style challenges to discover the city and practice Spanish.
- Traditional breakfast with “churros”. In this case, the student only needs to pay for what they consume.

- Movie day (usually once a week). Students can watch films and documentaries in Spanish on our school’s interactive screens in order to learn about Spanish and Latin American culture.
- World Literature Day celebration, language exchanges…
– Activities that are not free, though they may be included in some courses:
- Guided tours of downtown Málaga.
- Guided tours of the Alcazaba of Málaga, the amphitheater and the whole old part of the city with a Spanish-speaking guide.
