Methodology
Argentina I.L.E.E. is one of the first schools of Spanish for foreigners
in Argentina and has a permanent staff of professors with a high level of
specialization and a maximum degree of coordination. Also, the teaching staff
is constantly supervised by a pedagogical coordinator. This allows the
educational system of Argentina I.L.E.E.Spanish Schools to offer a
solid internal structure that accompanies the learning process of students
of all levels.
The system of initial evaluation and the constant supervision of each student
assures the adjustment of the course to the needs of each of the students
of our schools. Further more, the reduced groups allow a maximum attention
to the difficulties as well as the progress of each one of the members.
The methodology developed by Argentina I.L.E.E. Spanish Schools throughout
all these years of successful permanence in the market has resulted in an
excellent combination of grammar and communicative contents. This way, the
student acquires the tools needed to express himself correctly in the
communicative situations corresponding to each level.
Argentina I.L.E.E. Spanish Schools count on own material, designed that the
student enters progressive understanding of the Spanish grammar and its uses
in the speech. From the first classes the student will already count on correct
grammar knowledge to present himself, to request and to give information,
to make purchases, reservations, etc.
In the classes, grammar contents are introduced and put into practice through
listening comprehension and role plays as well as written exercises. Thus,
starting off with the correct use of the language, the student will be able
to actively participate speaking and listening outside the school. We consider
that the understanding of the grammar is an essential tool, that enables
the student to express himself correctly, according to his level.
Argentina I.L.E.E. Spanish Schools have established different levels (see
detailed information) taking into account the grammar contents that each
student can learn appropriately, and according to his initial level, in the
hours considered for each level. Only a long trajectory in the education
of the Spanish language in Argentina could allow a structure of this kind,
assuring our students a successful and solid learning of the language.
Although from the first levels informative material is used for the student
to gain a progressive understanding of the cultural context, it is from the
intermediate level I that journalistic or historical texts, as well as those
concerning the way of life in our country, are included as a daily activity.
This way the vocabulary is extended, linguistic interchanges between the
students are generated and cultural and historical contents are deepened.
Also, the cultural activities suggested by the school are offered with the
purpose of assisting the student to acquire an integral understanding of
the Argentine social cultural development.
In levels intermediate III and advanced I and II, the students participate
in more formal communicative situations, in which, as it is done when studying
history and literature, they have interviews, take notes during lectures,
expose a subject to their classmates, work with audio and video material
of different degrees of complexity and of thematic diversity. The material
used for advanced levels is selected from what is of current use for a native
Argentinian with a university degree or superior education.
Argentina I.L.E.E. Spanish Schools offer specific programs for advanced levels,
that integrate history, art and literature; programs specially composed for
a deep and successful immersion in the Argentine culture. Ask for our Medicine
