Methodology: AZ Arenal

At our Spanish language school in Arenal (La Fortuna) all of your classes will be entirely in Spanish. The foundation for all instruction is the Communicative Approach to teaching Spanish. This system will help you to study and learn Spanish in a quick and effective manner. All of your Spanish language instructions will emphasize student participation, conversational skills and educational activities within a well thought out framework that teaches you not only the necessary grammar, but also how to converse and be understood in real-life situations.

Real world experiences, role playing, games, music, interviews with locals, and intensive class-work support your language acquisition goals, helping you become quickly familiar with and comfortable in the language. As you advance, you will begin to study Latin American history and culture, read selected literature from the region, and participate in debates, write essays, critique films and generally refine your language skills as you expand your cultural knowledge.

Classes begin every Monday for students of all levels of Spanish language proficiency. Normally all of your classes will be held during the mornings (Monday through Friday). However during peak times the school may also schedule students for afternoon Spanish language classes. Scheduling for classes is at the sole discretion of the Spanish language school.

All of the Spanish language professors at the Spanish language school are university qualified and credentialed to teach Spanish as a second language.
