Methodology

The native-speaking teachers have a university degree in Spanish philology and have had professional teacher training. Their knowledge and experience in teaching foreign students guarantee top-quality training.

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 the 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.

AZ Malaga offers 3 different types of courses:

1. Standard Course (4 lessons/day from 9:30 - 13:30 and * 17:00 - 21:00)
2. Intensive Course (6 lessons/day from 8:30 - 14:30 )
3. Individual Tuition

* in the high and some time in the mid season classes will be held in the afternoon as well.

After every lesson of 45 minutes there is a 10 minute break. The main break of 30 minutes is held from 11:15 to 11:45 (in the afternoon from 18:45 to 19:15). Before the main half hour break, lessons concentrate on grammar and afterwards on conversation.

The class groups are evenly matched and contain a maximum of 8 students. 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!
