Spanish for kids (4-5yo)

Course details

Our methodology revolves around the work by themes. Taking as starting point the closest and most relevant reality for the children, we have selected a series of themes of global and transcendental significance that provide the framework for exploration and learning.

Our classes incorporate techniques such as:

• the practice in each session of the four linguistic skills: oral and written expression / comprehension,
• the repetition of routines in the classroom with the purpose of encouraging the assimilation of the language,
• the continuous interaction within the classroom, both between the students and with the teacher,
• the use of attractive and motivating material, always in Spanish,
• short sequences, changing frequently from activity to activity to keep the child’s interest,
• the execution of projects on significant dates to bring Hispanic cultures closer to the child’s reality,
• the continuous follow-up on the progress of the child to ensure the flexibility of the curricular program to adapt itself to the specific needs of each group,
• and last but not least, playing, an essential element in their lives and key for them to learn enjoying themselves. It is key that our students associate learning Spanish with something enjoyable and entertaining, something they look forward to.

Our courses are addressed either to non-natives (students wishing to learn Spanish as a foreign language), or Spanish native speakers who need to improve their language skills.

Children begin to show interest in lecto-writing and in the most basic mathematical calculations and at this stage we carry out a first approach to reading and writing in Spanish.

In our sessions we include habits and routines, songs, storytelling where the kids interact, mathematical competences, plastic arts, cards designed or selected based mainly on the needs of the children but keeping the linguistic perspective.We believe it is important to assimilate the language as a reality and thus we try to encourage children to develop their personal autonomy within the classroom in an effective manner. Developing their ability to express themselves with confidence, facing situations in a creative way in a foreign language will help them to assimilate it and relate it with a closer reality.
