Methodology Spanish as Foreign Language
The Meytaqui Academy APPROVED by:
- Interior Ministry
- Ministry of Public Works
-
Generalitat of Catalunia “Departament of Education”
The school:
- Has over 28 years of experience
- Located right in the centre of Barcelona (Eixample)
- Library, multimedia room with free wi-fi internet, air-conditioned classrooms and a large patio for leisure and other activities
- Large body of teachers all with specific training and experience in teaching Spanish as a foreign language
- Personalized relationship with students: weekly tutorials aimed to the students that need special attention, one to one feedback and the opportunity to meet Spanish students without leaving the facility.
Course Objectives:
- That students are trained through the four essential practices (oral and written expression, listening and writing)
- That each student gains a deep and practical understanding of grammar.
- That students have extended vocabulary sessions with a focus on cultural aspects.
Teaching Method:
Our education system combines exercise, games, role playing, reading comprehension activities, songs, audio … with practical material that gets you talking ‘real Spanish’ from the start.
- Extra-curricular activities: outings, city torus, meetings, sports, debates, literally circles, etc. help build healthy relationships between the students, in and out of the classroom. Constant contact with native speakers ensures that students master both academic and conversational Spanish as well as understanding the culture and the customs of the country.
- The theoretical framework of the program is that the students become confident speakers. The main objective is that students acquire a good level of communicative competence.
OUR TEACHING PLAN has two main principles for the learning of Spanish.
1. The student is the subject of learning. Allows us to identify the aspects that students must be able to develop in order make the required progress. With this close relationship we can set the students personal objectives that we help them to achieve
2. Language as an object of learning. Cover the components grammatical, pragmatic, discursive, notional, cultural and colloquial. We provided a description of the material that students need to perform these communicative activities.
Some examples of academic activities include simulation games (role playing), interviews, pair work, surveys, learning teaching, trivial, dialogue, cultural days, guided readings, seminaries, conferences and natters which are realized in the Academy.
Method of Assessment:
In Meytaqui Academy we have a concept of what we understand as evaluation, which guides all our teaching notions. Evaluation means assessing the work and achievement of objectives previously raised. The focus of our evaluation processes are always specific, continuous, and valuable, analyzing the problems and seeking solutions. With continuous assessment, the students will be regularly informed on their progress. The object being that both teacher and student are aware of the progress being made and the objectives to be achieved. The objective of our ongoing evaluation is not to give the students a grade but to confirm or exercise the methodology and guide the student’s progress. With these brief tests we can highlight problems to be resolved. Meytaqui believe that self-assessment and peer assessment conducted jointly by students and teacher is the most formative assessment, while developing the ability to learn, because it focuses on processes the teacher believes will increases the student’s ability to be responsible for their own learning.
