The Teaching Methodology used at Liceo Hispánico gathers the best aspects of all existing methods so that our students can manage their Spanish skills in any situation, context or Spanish speaking country without difficulties. Our aim is to get students develop the right skills and attitudes so teaching is based on abilities acquisition that make them :
In order to get all these aims, our materials follow the Common European Framework of Reference for languages. With the help of the school’s specialized teachers and the wide range of resources, students can definitely improve their communicative skills in Spanish.
The Liceo Hispánico’s materials are based on the Common European Framework of Reference and the Instituto Cervantes. Our purpose using the materials is that the student reaches different objectives and skills. Besides the text book, each teacher will use other materials focusing on communicative competence, such as:
For general spanish courses, Liceo Hispánico proposes six levels of education following the indications of the Common European Framework of Reference. In each level the student has to reach different objectives including :
A1 SPANISH LEVEL: With the first level of education the learner can:
A2 SPANISH LEVEL: With the second level of education the learner can:
B1 SPANISH LEVEL: With the third level of education the learner can:
B2 SPANISH LEVEL: With the fourth level of education the learner can:
C1 SPANISH LEVEL: With the fifth level of education the learner can:
C2 SPANISH LEVEL: With the sixth level of education the learner can:
Beside these general objectives for each level, the teaching staff will set specific objectives for the different courses taught at Liceo Hispánico.
All Liceo Hispánico’s teachers are specially trained in teaching Spanish as a foreign language and as well have Master’s or Doctor’s degree in their area of specialization.In addition, they are dynamic, extrovert, kind and hard-working people and they are able to create a good atmosphere in the education/learning process. The students’ groups are small so the teachers will be able to take care of special needs. Being a member of a group will not prevent students from acquiring communicative competence.
Besides the teaching staff, Liceo Hispánico has trained associated teachers for different subjects (Art, History, Literature, Medicine, Tourism, Jurisprudence, Education, etc.) in charge of giving specific lectures to certain students or additional master classes about different topics throughout the academic course.
Every spanish lesson takes 50 minutes and there are morning sessions from 9:00 a.m. to 14:00 p.m and afternoon ones from 17:00 p.m. to 20:00 p.m. Afternoon lessons are usually focused on specific courses such as preparing exams, Spanish as a specialization language, etc. If it is the first time that you study Spanish, as soon as you arrive at Liceo Hispánico you will take a test on reading, listening, speaking and writing skills to help us determine your level.
At the end of the spanish course, the learner will be given a certificate of his Spanish language level with information about the course hours. In addition, those students who complete courses of at least two weeks, will receive a certificate with information regarding their progress in the course and with marks in the different worked skills.
