Spanish and Basketball Camp in Alicante: Spanish immersion course

Every day, participants at the basketball camp have 4 language classes lasting 45 minutes each (15 hours of Spanish classes per week):

• 3 hours of English classes for Spanish-speakers
• 3 hours of Spanish classes for non-Spanish-speakers

Spanish classes take on a communicative focus. Working on oral and written comprehension and expression, the priority is developing communication skills.

The subject content of the classes varies significantly in accordance with the participants’ age. Of course, lessons also include basketball-related vocabulary to allow foreign participants to be able to understand the Spanish coaches and assistants.

In class, an emphasis is placed on developing oral expression, with lessons structured around the completion of exercises continually focussed on putting into practice the vocabulary, grammatical structures and communicative functions that are most important in our daily lives, each adapted to the course level: activities in pairs, role-plays, presentations...

Each class is of a maximum size of 10 students (the average size is 7-8).

Levels of Spanish classes for foreigners:

• A1 or Beginner
• A2 or Upper Elementary
• B1 or Intermediate
• B2 or Upper Intermediate

On the first day of the Spanish course the students undergo a placement test and oral interview with the teacher responsible for level allocation.

Students are provided with teaching materials for each class, but must bring their own exercise book, pens, pencils and pocket dictionary.

Spanish lessons take place Monday to Friday from 09:00 to 12:00.

All teachers of Spanish classes for foreigners are native Spanish speakers with extensive experience in the teaching of the language.
