 | Activities Visit to different monuments and museums in the city of Burgos Culture SPANISH LANGUAGE AND CULTURE PROGRAM Those courses are taking place during the entire year and it is the student’s decision how long he wants the course to last. The courses always start on Mondays. For these courses we are keeping in mind the needs of our students and are adapting the methods of our courses tot he motives (social, academic, professional etc.) that made the students choose to study Spanish with us in the first place. In the courses of long duration we are combining the knowledge of grammar (theory and use of the different grammatical structures, exercises of comprehension) with the use of up to date texts, debates, conversation, chats. Conversations about culture and Spanish civilization are also included. The program is functionally organized around theobjectives which the students need to improve in the 4 language skills: the oral and written expression, comprehension and expression. The level of the course is determined by the knowledge the student has of the Spanish language. In each level the structure of the course includes: Functional and grammatical contents Reading comprehension and oral comprehension Written expression Lexical/phonetical contents Vocabulary Practicing communication Evaluation of homework The grammar presents itself in a short format with practical explanations. The students will focus on the use of the language in everyday real life situations and practice with exercises, games, discussions, etc. The cultural topics are included in the language classes with material that is specifically developed for Spain. The course will take place between 9-11am from mondays through fridays in the establishments of the EDE Escuela de Español. The Spanish school is making use of the communicative teaching method in classes with a reduced number of students with a maximum number oft en students per class. The classes are only taking place in Spanish to ensure a great exposure to the language. All the teachers have a degree in Spanish literature and culture. In addition to that they have received additional training in teaching Spanish as a second language and are dedicating individual attention to each student. All students are taking a placement test on their first day of class to be asigned to their corresponding level of Spanish. The students who finish the program will receive a CERTIFICATE of STUDY which also states the number of class hours. Sports SOCCER PROGRAM To join this program it is not necessary to be a skilled soccer player, but to have the will to learn more about technical and tactical aspects. For this reason, the children will be trained by professional teachers and coaches who will try to have a lot out of their abilities. This soccer program takes into account a training process supervising the progress of each player. No student will be suspended for not playing well or making mistakes. This program will be held in a relaxed environment where students will compete healthily. The aim of this program is to improve the individual and team techniques, work on the offensive and defensive tactical principles; and develop respect, partnership and sportsmanship.

 | Accommodations SHARED APARTMENTS You can share an apartment with other students at EDE. Usually, the apartments are shared by 3 or 4 people so that you can save on living expenses. If you decide to choose this kind of accommodation, you will have the chance of making your own meals and being independent. Sometimes, two students can share a room if they wish and have a more economical stay. In your room you will have at least a bed, a desk, a chair and a wardrobe. The kitchen and the living-room are fully equipped, although some apartments have no televisions. Usually, the apartments do not have Internet access, but if you wish to hire this service the staff at the school will help you with anything you may need. If you decide to choose this kind of accommodation remember that you will be completely responsible for keeping the house clean and tidy. You must also bear in mind that when you hire an apartment you will have to pay a deposit that will only be refunded if at the moment of leaving the flat, everything is in good conditions. Otherwise, the owner will keep your deposit. HALL OF RESIDENCE You can stay at the Hall of residence “Residencia Universitaria de San Agustín”, opened in 1997. It offers you the following services: - Single and twin rooms with bathroom. - Conference hall. - Library. - Drawing studio. - Computer lab. - Photography lab. - Café. - Gym. - Basketball and paddle courts. - Large, open green areas The student can share a room with a Spanish student if a prior request is made. For further information visit: www.rusanagustin.com LIVE WITH SPANISH FAMILY The school offers you the possibility of staying with a family. We have a list of selected families. However, it will be the students themselves who will hire this service directly with the families. The school will have no contractual agreement with the families and the students. We really think that this is the best option for those students willing to progress more quickly in their learning of Spanish. With a family you will not only be practising the language in class, but also at home, with your host family. Remember that living with a family means adapting to their habits and timetables. Before arriving in Spain you should know that the most usual mealtimes are from 2pm to 3pm for lunch, and 9pm to 10pm for dinner. Normally, families have lunch together, whereas dinner can be different, depending on the habits of the host family. You must also remember that you are in a different country, with different food and maybe different ways of cooking. Therefore, we recommend you travelling to Spain with the wish to learn Spanish, but also to live and learn about our traditions, gastronomy, etc. You will have to get used to dishes different from those in your country, so be patient if you find tastes strange at first. |
