Spanish Language Schools in Spain

Málaga Plus Spanish Language School:
Spanish Language Courses

Our native-speaking teachers have university degrees in Spanish philology and have had professional teacher training. Their knowledge and experience in teaching Spanish to foreign students guarantee top-quality Spanish language training.

Teaching method

In teaching, the direct method is used. This means that Spanish is the language of instruction and the use of other languages is avoided as much as possible. The vocabulary and grammar are taught in context. Summaries of grammar and written or oral exercises are provided in our schoolbooks, which are designed by our teachers.

Much emphasis is put on the speaking ability of the students. Students will have to prepare small oral lectures and presentations to hold group discussions. In addition audio and video equipment, songs, newspapers, magazines and language games are used to incorporate the many different ways a language can be used.

After every lesson of 45 minutes we have a 10 minute break. Our main break of 30 minutes is held from 11:15 to 11:45 a.m.. Before this half hour break, lessons concentrate on grammar. Afterwards, the lessons concentrate on conversation.

The class groups are evenly matched and contain a maximum of eight students and an average of six.

Keeping the classes on a smaller-scale leaves plenty of opportunity to speak openly and frequently during conversation classes, as well, it makes it easier to meet your fellow classmates!
