Spanish School Barcelona Teachin Method
Enforex Teaching Method
At ENFOREX Barcelona, students will study the Spanish language with the aid of course books written and designed by our very own teachers. Following a proven methodology, our teachers draw from years of experience and academic training in their creation of the academic materials.
Combining various pedagogical techniques and always with a focus on communication, ENFOREX reaches out to every type of student who comes through our doors looking to study Spanish in our Barcelona school. Our goal is to equip you with the skills and concepts necessary to feel comfortable in Spanish-speaking contexts not only understanding others but also in expressing yourself. In order to achieve this goal, the teacher addresses all of the linguistic and functional pragmatic aspects of the spoken language through both theory and practice. While you study Spanish in Barcelona, your practical language lessons will be complemented by key socio-cultural information that will help you adapt - both linguistically and culturally - to your Spanish surroundings. In order to approximate the student to an authentic communicative environment, grammar, reading, writing, listening, speaking and vocabulary are always integrated into every lesson.
As you study Spanish and experience all that Barcelona has to offer, you will see that each lesson is independent. However, as is the case with any language, the use of grammar and vocabulary is cumulative and sequential from class to class.
As an ENFOREX student in Barcelona, you are also encouraged to develop intercultural competence with a combination of knowledge, skills, and attitudes that will lead you to create positive relationships with the society in which you are immersed. For this reason, our Spanish programs include the option of five extra culture lessons per week (+ 5) that will help you acquire a deeper understanding of traditions and customs in Barcelona and in Spain.
Certificates & Diplomas
When you learn the Spanish language in Barcelona with ENFOREX, you will receive an official ENFOREX diploma that states the type of course, the total hours completed and the achieved level of proficiency. You will also receive a Certificate Report Card in which you will find a detailed account of your progress in each specific linguistic skill. All courses completed at our centers contain the CEELE seal (from the University of Alcalá). We also offer U.S. university credits and certifications for other international universities via joint curriculum revision projects.
Course Materials
Immediately following the placement test on the first day of class, students will receive their academic materials - a pack consisting of a textbook and workbook - corresponding to their level of Spanish. These materials are not included in the program price. If a student's level improves substantially, we are always willing to bump him/her up to the appropriate level. In this event, the purchase of new or additional course books are the student's responsibility.
