This course is a combination of the Intensive Plus Course (Intensive 20 with complementary lessons focused on grammar) and 5 hours of private lessons per week. During the private lessons the language skills will be strategically improved and any weaknesses will be addressed.
Intensive Plus Grammar Course + 5h Private lessons
The Intensive Plus Grammar Course consists of 30 lessons of 50 minutes per week, from Monday to Friday. The private lessons consist of 5 weekly lessons of 60 minutes each. The schedule is usually between 09.00 and 16.00h or between 12.30 and 19.30h. However, this schedule may suffer slight modifications, depending on the season and the quantity of students at the school at the moment. Apart from the lessons, the students will also have the opportunity to participate in our sociocultural modules which the school offers weekly, with an approximate duration of 5 hours per week, and also in the free-time activities.
It is possible to begin this course every Monday (unless it is a public holiday), regardless of the level of the student. On public holidays classes will not be held, however they will be made up throughout the week. If there happens to be two public holidays in one week, only one day will be made up for.
Before starting the Spanish course, students must take a level test, both written (multiple choice questions plus a little composition) and spoken, in order to assess their level and place them in the correct group.
This test has no cost and it always takes place outside the course schedules. If the student is already in Valencia, it may be taken on the previous week; if not, the test will take place the same day of the beginning of the course (usually at 8:45)
The Intensive Plus Courses’ teaching materials (textbooks and supplementary worksheets, workbooks and supplementary cards) are carefully prepared, updated and improved by our teaching staff.
All learning materials are included in the price of the course.
The school provides a tutor for you to discuss any questions that you may have without charging any extra cost.
In general, these tutorials take place from Tuesday to Friday, from 1.30 pm to 2 pm or from 3.30 pm to 4 pm. You can ask your teacher to make use of this service.
At the end of the language stay, students will receive a certificate of attendance stating the level and type of course completed, the total hours spent during the stay (divided into teaching hours, hours of autonomous work and participation in socio-cultural activities) and the contents studied during the course.
If you require an official certificate accrediting your Spanish knowledge, we recommend taking the DELE exam (Diploma of Spanish as a Foreign Language). These are official qualifications, which accredit levels of competence and mastery of the Spanish language, granted by the ‘Instituto Cervantes’ on behalf of Spain’s Ministry of Education.
With the aim of guaranteeing that each and every student is in the appropriate level and to avoid groups of students with different levels of knowledge, the school reserves the right to implement the following changes to lesson times:
- In case of having only 3 students in the Intensive group, the daily class will be reduced to three sessions of 50 minutes each.
- In case of having only 1-2 student in the group, the daily class will be reduced to two private sessions of 50 minutes each.
- In case that there is only 1 student in the complementary classes, the daily class will be reduced to one lesson of 50 minutes.
- The 5 hours of private lessons are not affected by this.
The original price will be unaffected.
Apart from our Spanish language courses, we also offer up to four extra-curricular activities per day. Participating in these activities allows students to put into practice the skills they have learnt in the classroom in an easy-going and fun way. As well, it is a good opportunity to get to know Valencia’s culture and people.
We refer you to our updated program of free-time activities.
The sociocultural modules consist of conferences, debates, talks etc. and usually include a visit to some touristic sites, such as museums or monuments. They last approximately 5 hours a week. The topics addressed (festivals, Spanish politics, gastronomy and others) put students in contact with a rich variety of aspects of Spanish and Valencian life.
