| Program Description |
|
Our Spanish courses take place all year round and our schools are always open. The minimum duration is one week with a maximum of 9 students per class during the high season (average of 5 students per class). Students will take an oral and written placement test on the first Monday after their arrival in order to be placed in the appropriate level. As soon as the testing process has been completed, the course work takes place immediately. Our methodology is based on acquiring the linguistic, pragmatic and functional aspects of language learning along with the socio-cultural elements of the Spanish way of life.
Students are given 15, 20, 25, or 30 lessons (55 minutes each) per week. With the exception of the Intensive course, every general intensive course features one hour per day of cultural lessons that cover every aspect of Spanish culture and civilization from the deeply rooted traditions to topics most relevant to the culture. These classes are available five times per week and are complimentary to the regular courses.
· Part time + course: 15* lessons per week · Intensive course: 20 lessons per week · Intensive + course: 25* lessons per week. · Super-intensive + course: 30* lessons per week.
* Includes 5 cultural lessons per week
Special courses: Mini group course, DELE preparation course,

| Academic Focus of Program |
|
In all our courses we try to instruct individually and then integrate the four language skills: reading, writing, speaking and listening. In addition to these skills, we also emphasize grammatical structure so the student can eventually reach the threshold of communicative proficiency. We feel that learning a language is a dynamic process in which the students live within the Spanish culture while being totally immersed in the language itself. In order to broaden the student's general perspective, we offer the possibility of studying many different aspects of the Spanish culture including History, Art, Civilization, Literature, Cinema, etc.

| Student Life |

During the week Enforex organizes afternoon activities and cultural excursions - such as visits to museums, churches, city cathedrals or the historical areas of Madrid. We also offer full day trips to other cities in Spain, which are located approximately at 1-3 hours distance and weekend trips to different locations.

| Location & Housing |
|
|
Enforex pays special attention to student accommodations and offers the following choices:
HOST FAMILIES - Living with a Spanish family will enable the student to see and understand many aspects of the Spanish lifestyle - getting a better knowledge of Spanish culture, traditions, etc. Many families have been chosen for this purpose in order to make the stay of our students as pleasant as possible. They will be treated and feel like part of the family.
Students may choose between single or double room as well as half board (breakfast & dinner) or full board (breakfast, lunch & dinner). Unless specifically required, students will never be accommodated with other students who speak the same language. In case the student is vegetarian, allergic to pets or has any special request, Enforex will do its best to satisfy any need the students may have.
STUDENT RESIDENCES - Residences are located in the centre of the city, 10-20 minutes from our schools. Students will meet Spanish and international students in a stimulating environment. Students may choose between single or double room and even if residences differ from each other, they all have facilities such as cafeteria, library etc. It is also possible to choose half board (breakfast & dinner) or full board (breakfast, lunch & dinner).
SHARED APARTMENTS - Apartments are located in the very centre of the city with personalized attention 24 hours per day. There are apartments and studios of different sizes and characteristics, according to the needs of every student. Buildings also have laundry, air conditioning etc. Prices depend on the apartment and it is necessary to give a deposit upon arrival. The deposit will be returned to the student at the end of the stay provided there are no damages in the apartment.
PRIVATE APARTMENTS/HOTELS/HOSTELS - Enforex can book a hotel for the student according to his requirements and preferences. There are lots of hotels within 5 minutes from our schools. For further information, please contact our main office.
