CLIC: Course Information

COURSES

The defined levels are beginners, elementary, pre-intermediate, intermediate, upper-intermediate, advanced, superior and proficient. Upon completing a level, there will be a test to evaluate the progress in the course, which will be accredited by a school certificate.

All the courses are divided into distinct blocks. The first one deals with the language itself, the structures and communicative functions. The second part deals with concrete cultural themes in order to develop all the abilities or skills integrally: oral expression, aural understanding, writing and reading comprehension. Classes are not designed for an accelerated lineal progress, but rather for a solid global command of the language.

At no additional cost, you can also choose between the following optional courses of two classes per week: Art History, 20th Century Literature, Phonetics or Dance Class (sevillanas). When the classes are described, this is the meaning of the +2.
