Books
We have a syllabus for each level, which our teachers follow. In covering this syllabus our teachers will use books and guides, which have been written by our teachers. However, we encourage teachers to be flexible and creative in their teaching style, therefore they will often use additional books and materials to meet their individual student’s needs.These books are carefully prepared to meet your needs and are revised regularly.

There is one student book and one workbook for each level . Each student book consists of six chapters, which cover vocabulary, reading texts, pronunciation exercises, grammar, practice activities, cultural notes and explanations and a summary. Teachers use these books as the basis of the classes, supplementing with other books and activities where necessary.

Exercise books: You will receive two exercise books, one to record vocabulary, grammar, exercises etc, and the other for homework and compositions.

Tests and exams:

In your first class you will take a placement test, which helps us to see your level of Spanish (if you have some previous knowledge). Your teacher will also take you through a general oral revision of the initial areas. This revision, and the placement test, will enable us to start at the right level for you.

You will take progress tests throughout the course (usually weekly). These help us to see if you are ready to continue to new areas. You will also take an exam at the end of each level to check if you are ready to move up to the next level. If we feel you are not ready, your teacher will spend more time with you on the areas which present particular problems for you. After this you should be able to move up a level with no problems.

At the end of the course you will take a final exam to confirm the final level you reach.
