BEGINNERS A1:
Aimed at students who have no knowledge of Spanish or who simply know a few words and odd expressions. At the end of this course students will be able to communicate in both the present simple and present perfect and use very basic expressions.

ELEMENTARY A2:
Aimed at students who possess a certain degree of understanding of the language. At the end of the course students will be able to speak clearly, slowly, and directly in single everyday conversations. They will be able to express actions both in the past and future.

LOW INTERMEDIATE B1:
Aimed at students who can already use the correct structural form in the past, present and future. At the end of the course both their written and oral communication skills will be quite good in different situations. They will be able to understand and use the principal structures of Castellano and the subjunctive effectively. They will have acquired skills to converse including coherence, cohesion, connectors, negotiation, error correction and misunderstandings etc.)

UPPER INTERMEDIATE B2:
Aimed at students who can take part in discussions and speak fluently in a social conversation. The course objective is to allow students to develop skills to be able to do assessments, express wishes, hypothesize, give opinions and pass on messages. The students acquire a better understanding of the language and Spanish culture, participating both fluently and naturally in conversations.

ADVANCE C1 and PROFICIENCY C2 ( later in 2009)

The basis of our methodology is communication. Our objective is that the student will be able to use the new knowledge in the correct way. In view of this, as well as studying grammatical structures and linguistics, we stress the necessity of achieving communicative competence.

To reach these objectives the Centre has developed a methodology based on the functional use of the language and by the end of the course the student will have learnt, not only about the culture, but also about the social life offered in Spain.

It is important and logical that the student takes the responsibility of learning seriously, through studying, timing and continuity.

At the same time we are aware of the various Spanish dialects and languages (Spanish in South America).

OUR METHODS
Our methods for teaching Spanish to foreigners are structured for various levels depending on the requirements of the European Mark and the curriculum of The Cervantes Institute.
Our objective is to give students the strategies and necessary know-how to cope in a Spanish environment by being able to communicate.
