Spanish [Out There!] provides a new and alternative way of learning a language. It provides you with the language you need, here and now. It gives you the opportunity to practise with native speakers providing you with an insight into the culture and values of the country first-hand, not from a book.
The course is different from all other language courses, at all levels it enables you to actually get out of the classroom every day of your course and practise your new language skills.
The classes are 3 hours long, the first hour and a half takes place in the classroom, where you will be taught some new language. In the next hour you and your classmates will leave the classroom with your teacher and briefly travel to a venue or location that will have been carefully chosen to enable you to practise what you have learnt in as close to a real-life situation as possible. In all of our lessons we use famous shops, museums, parks, and many more interesting locations, always with your teacher near at hand if you ever need help or guidance.
The last section of the lesson is conducted either in a bar, a café, a park etc, where the you will all get together again and have a feedback session of approx. 30 mins with your teacher. this helps to consolidate the learning experience and deal with any questions that have arisen as a result of the activity.
The course is ideal for all types of language learner and is designed to boost confidence and motivation levels by providing real experiences of success in every class. The result is that your communicative abilities will improve quickly, therefore turning passive knowledge into active ability.
It’s great fun and it works.
