Spanish Intensive for beginners

This course is aimed at complete beginners or learners with a very basic knowledge of the Spanish language that want to start from the very beginning. Lessons will cover simple but key aspects of the language in a variety of everyday situations to give you the foundation needed at this early stage. Learning takes place using a collaborative approach in which active practice and communication are vital.

You will be given an Individual Learning Plan on which you and the tutor will be able to chart your progress. Your tutor will give feedback on your work and advise you of areas that you can focus on to improve. Although there will be no formal exams or qualifications, students will need to complete homework and some learning checks during the course to assess and review their progress, as well as receive feedback on their newly acquired skills. Additionally, students will be asked to complete a course evaluation survey to share their learning experience. This survey will be shared via Google classroom at the end of the course. We require that you keep a good attendance record so that you can make the most of this learning experience. If you no longer can attend this course, please contact the college to let them know. So that you can be successful in your learning, we do require that you arrive promptly for each lesson, and that you try not to miss any of the sessions. You need to agree to attend at least 80% of the lessons.

This course is for complete beginners.
