Language, Language and Culture

For students whose goal is to learn to communicate effectively in real-life communicative situations, and who want to make the most of their time in Spain, both inside and outside the classroom.

In addition, as the University of Alcala's Spanish language teaching centre, all courses at Alcalingua are adapted to the EHEA, so that where necessary, you can have your ECTS credits validated at your university.

Language course

After you have taken the level test on the first day of the course, the Centre will assign you to the appropriate group for your level so that your learning will be effective.

Whether in the morning or afternoon schedule, the student enjoys daily sessions with a short break. Two sessions, two subjects, two teachers to take advantage of time.

• The first session, Language and communication focuses on learning and practicing Spanish within a cooperative and contextualised framework.
• The second session, Oral and written skills, concentrates on extending the use of Spanish through enjoyable activities that effectively practice the four skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing.

Naturally, you will have a few days' holiday, thanks to the wide variety of tourist attractions in Alcala de Henares and its surroundings, will be the perfect opportunity to complement your course.

Language and culture courses

After you have taken the level test on the first day of the course, the Centre will assign you to the appropriate group for your level so that your learning will be effective.

Whether in the morning or afternoon, the student will enjoy each of two daily sessions and one of reinforcement, civilization or culture, with small breaks between them.

• The first session, Language and communication focuses on learning and practicing Spanish within a cooperative and contextualised framework.
• The second session, Oral and written skills, concentrates on extending the use of Spanish through enjoyable activities that effectively practice the four skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing.

The third session will vary according to your level:

• A1 level students: since students at this level do not have a sufficient command of the language to attend classes in Spanish on civilisation or culture, this session will be used to improve those aspects of language and culture they need most.
• A2 level students: these students will attend classes on civilisation.
• B1-C2 level students: these students will have four modules addressing specific aspects of Spanish and Latin American art, history, film and literature.

Naturally, you will have a few days' holiday, thanks to the wide variety of tourist attractions in Alcala de Henares and its surroundings, will be the perfect opportunity to complement your course.
