Language school Salamanca, Juniors program (14-17 years)

School

Enforex

The school is housed in a beautiful 19th century building in the heart of the historic part of the city, thereby making all the interesting places in the city easily accessible on foot. The classrooms, video room, the computer area (with free Internet access), the canteen and the residence are all located on the same site, spread out over five floors which surround a patio. On the school grounds, behind the beautiful 15th-century San Bernardas church, you will also be able to make use out of several sports grounds, including for football, basketball, handball and volleyball unless you would prefer to practise playing Basque pelota on the “fronton”.

Courses

You will have 20 Spanish lessons per week. The classes last 45 minutes each and take place in the mornings, from 9:30 to 13:00, with a 30-minute break (from 11:00 to 11:30). The lessons are given by experienced and competent teachers. There are no more than 14 students per class, which allows the teacher to provide personal attention to each student. Incorporating role-plays, workshops and group work, the teaching is lively and modern and the subjects are especially chosen to encourage communication, listening and interaction among students. On the first day of class, you will sit an evaluation test. You will then be placed in a class where you will join other international students of the same level.

Accommodation

Residence“Calasanz”

The group leaders in charge of supervising the students also live in the residence and are available on a 24-hour basis. Full board is provided and all meals are served at the residence’s canteen.
