High School - Spring Break - Seville 12 days

INTRODUCTION

This short length program has been designed to improve the Spanish level of the students or to learn the basic concepts of the language in the case of basic levels. The course combines classes and activities conveniently coordinated with the intention of allowing the student to learn and enjoy as much as possible.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

ACADEMICS

Classes take place in the mornings and they are divided in four modules of 45 minutes each. During the first two modules (10:00 – 11:30), students practice the grammar tends toward objectives that have a communicative character. After the break (11:30 – 12:00), students practice in a dynamic and practical way this interchange in out-of-class exercises.

There would be from 5 to 12 students per class. Our teachers are all graduated in several foreign languages and the have been selected by our Academic Department following a rigorous criteria and process.

All class materials are provided by the Instituto San Fernando.

GOALS

For the Intermediate and Higher levels, we have marked as our main objective to improve the grammar knowledge in a pleasant and practical way. We stress the importance of the communication skills by developing out- of- class workshops: visit to the local markets, street interviews, work in groups, etc. with the goal of obtaining the maximum development of each student’s communication skills.

We “make the most” of the educational environment that the City offer.

For the beginner or basic levels, we base our courses more in the classroom work. We pretend that, at the end of the course, the student would achieve basic and practical notions of the language so that, they can cope with simple real-life situations: in a restaurant, in a Mall, in the airport, in a train station, etc…At the same time, we reinforce their basic knowledge of the grammar.

EXAMPLE OF A TYPICAL DAY

After having breakfast at home, students will make their way to Instituto San Fernando that will be no farther than 15 minutes walking. Once they get there, they will start their classes (at 10:00). Classes finish at 13:30 and it is then when our teachers usually solve possible doubts and when our coordinators inform the students about the planned activities for the evenings. Students get back home to have lunch and when they are finished they still have time to sleep the “typical siesta”.

Around 17:00 (depending on the activity), students go back to Instituto San Fernando. Here, the coordinator is waiting for them to carry out the organised activity.

When they are finished, they have free time to have a walk around the city. At 21:00 or so, they are supposed to get back home to have dinner together with their families.
