Instituto Mediterráneo Sol was established in 1993 in the beautiful city of the Alhambra, which is considered one of the Wonders of the World. The geographic location of Granada is privileged, because it is only 30 minutes far from the natural park of Sierra Nevada and its winter ski resort, and only 45 minutes by car far from the Costa Tropical.
Our Spanish school is in the very city centre, in the unique quarter of El Realejo, less than 5 minutes walking from Puerta Real, the Cathedral, Gran Via de Colón, theatres, hotels, restaurants, shops, etc. To sum up, you will be able to learn Spanish in one of the most historic quarters of Granada and at a stone's throw from the heart of the city, surrounded by all the facilities and comforts.
Instituto Mediterráneo Sol (Accredited Teaching Centre by Instituto Cervantes) has five classrooms fully-equipped for the study of Spanish with TV, video, DVD and all the necessary audio and CD equipment. All these devices plus the small group size (maximum 8 students per class) create a very familiar atmosphere and a personal treatment, which makes the learning of Spanish more natural and effective.
The teaching is carried out only in Spanish and without using any other language, developing a direct, situational and communicative method and looking for mental associations between the concept and the word in Spanish.
Vocabulary and grammar are studied in a contextual way, placing particular emphasis on the students' participation both in the oral and in the written production. Teachers use exercises on the different grammatical structures, dictations, readings paying special attention to the phonetics and pronunciation, etc. creating controlled and free conversation, always with the teacher's corrections. Every programme has been worked out following the directives of the European Common Reference Framework for Languages (Council of Europe) and the Curricula Plan of the Cervantes Institute.
Before starting the Spanish lessons participants will undergo the Instituto Mediterráneo Sol "placement or language test". As the classes are structured in blocks depending on the number of lessons of the course, one more grammatical and others more of oral production, there could be the possibility of differentiating the levels between both parts. Therefore participants could join two different groups depending on their levels of Spanish grammar and Spanish conversation and vocabulary.
Every week, groups (levels) will be "open" until Tuesday. There is the possibility of changing group if both the teacher and the head of Studies consider it necessary and/or convenient.
