In the case of the General Spanish lessons, the CEFR is merely used as syllabus which helps the teacher to provide more cohesion and coherence to the teaching and lesson planning; focusing in the development of good language learning skills through meaningful and purposeful communication.
The General Spanish lessons are structured and follow a personal-specific planning based on the Cervantes Institute Curriculum Plan (CVC 2006) which could be considered «the international curriculum for Spanish language learning and teaching». Furthermore, there is not a single specific course book followed for the lesson planning but multiple are taken into consideration.
Therefore, there is no need to buy a specific textbook as students will be provided with all the necessary materials for their lessons. However, if you would rather do so, I would suggest the following coursebooks:
The main focus of our Spanish lessons is to provide students with a high-quality language-learning experience to enable them to pursue their goals and aspirations in the best way possible. However, more importantly, our lessons are aimed to help students find motivation and pleasure in learning Spanish through a flexible, dynamic and engaging learning and teaching environment.
Principles upon which we base our lessons’ planning and teaching practice:
Lessons tailored to the specific teaching-learning context
By having a student-centred approach, our first and foremost concern is the learner´s learning style, and to provide them with flexibility and content based on his or her interests, attitudes towards learning, decisions and choices.
Communicative approach
Language learning requires learning the grammatical basis of the language in usage, but this will not be effective if we fail in the actual use of the language; both are interdependent. Therefore, learners will be given an abundance of opportunities to interact in real communication situations.
Experimental learning
The interactive practices proposed will place you in an active role in building your language knowledge up. Among these practical exercises, we can include: discussions and reflections in cooperative groups, games and simulations, role plays, empathy-taking activities, personal stories and case studies, visualizations and imaginative activities, personal journals, diaries or portfolios, or Spanish cooking workshops
Learning through play
Socio-cultural approach
“A language is not just words. It’s a culture, a tradition, a unification of a community, a whole history that creates what a community is. It’s all embodied in a language.” Noam Chomsky.
Our Spanish Lessons also aim to introduce some cultural aspects in Spanish (and Latino American) modern societies to interrelate those with a functional use of the language. This is aimed to introduce cultural aspects that might come handy during real life situations.
The materials and resources employed in our Spanish lessons aim to assist students’ language acquisition while promoting critical thinking, collaboration, cooperation, initiative, questioning, self- evaluation, curiosity, discovery, autonomy, reflexion, creativity, imaginary or real problem-solving.
Such materials could include visual presentations, flashcards, videos, podcasts, posters, cards, quizzes, board games, articles, textbooks, books, picture books, comics, etc.
At the end of the course you will be presented you with an Attendance Certificate specifying the type of course you have taken and the number of hours attended.
Our courses are dynamic and fun, with emphasis on conversation while still learning the right grammar.
Here at Che Language School, we offer lessons tailored to each student individual learning needs, from beginners to advanced.
This 20 week course will introduce some of the basic structures of the language through topics related to social and everyday life in the country/countries where it is spoken. The focus is on listening, speaking and reading simple materials that introduce basic grammatical structures.
Spanish lessons for all levels and needs. All classes are taught by experience, native-Spanish-speaking teachers.
