DurationOur regular program is based on the four components of Conversa’s communicative approach to language training. Conversation is practiced at each class. Participants practice what is required to say in day-to-day situations and hold conversations with each other.
Vocabulary is presented each lesson in support of the situations, and grammar concepts are introduced as required each class without “burdening” students with the jargon typical of grammatical structures.
Please note: participants will practice grammar; we’re just subtle in presenting it!!) And finally, each class consists of reading related texts, for correct pronunciation, intonation and comprehension.
Customized Program
Customized courses are offered in the following areas, based on participants’ needs.
Intercultural
for the person interested in communicating in a foreign language both linguistically and culturally
Some of the above courses will be scheduled only if the minimum number of participants is attained. On the other hand, “customized” courses, by definition, are usually taught as private lessons.
Instruction Options (for both regular and customized courses)
Organization of Groups
Small-group courses are usually held in the evening. Because our class size is small (4-6 participants) courses are scheduled based on the participants’ preferences. When contacting us, it is important to inform us when you are available and which time slot you prefer (5-7 pm or 7-9 pm).
As soon as 4-6 people at the same level are available at the same time, then your course can be scheduled. We then advise the group by email of the start date. At the conclusion of the 8-week course, if at least 4 students wish to continue language training at the next level, the group can choose to keep the same time slot.
Empty spots are then offered to new students on our waiting list. Our flexibility is for you, our students! It is important to note, therefore, that although we may publicize a course, for example, on Monday from 7-9, we are equally flexible to offer it on Tuesday, if 4-6 people confirm their interest and availability.
Conversa reserves the right to postpone (delay) a class that does not have a minimum of four confirmed registrations.
