Our Levels
Before starting a course, students with previous
knowledge of Spanish have to take a placement test.
Our Spanish teachers are all native speakers. They have an university degree focussed in teaching languages and are experienced in teaching Spanish to foreigners. We have trained our teachers to follow the school´s methodology and philosophy. You will find that our teachers are people who enjoy working with you rather than just being pure information providers.
Inhispania has a fix team of 15-20 Spanish teachers, here you find some of the current ones:
Our concept is based on communicative methods, in which we combine grammar, communication and cultural knowledge. We want you to get used to speaking Spanish from your first day in the class.
The goal of our classroom activities is to teach you to speak and write authentic and proper Spanish.
In the lessons you are thought:
the creation and comprehension of written texts;
conversation skills;
adquisition of vocabulary;
comprehension of the Spanish grammar and its use.
Learning is presented to the students as a process of creative construction, in which they learn to correct their own mistakes and gain from them.
A course book is followed, complemented by additional materials such as worksheets, journals, debates, group work, and class projects. Some contents are also introduced by story telling, games and songs, small group work and role-plays.
To learn a language is much more than to learn its grammar. Therefore all our courses integrate knowlege of the Spanish culture and history, as well as the Spanish way of life. The interaction between students and teachers is encouraged by our extra-activities.
To ensure that the understanding between teacher and students is optimal, we ask you to evaluate your teachers regularly.
