Key Features of Our Teacher Development & Spanish Course in Barcelona
The Professional Teacher Development and Spanish Course builds on the knowledge and teaching experience that new teachers will have already obtained from completing a 120+ hour practical TEFL/TESOL course. In addition, teachers will have 10 hours of Spanish classes/week, which will help them in their day to day life in Barcelona and immerse in the local culture.
This course is designed to combine advanced teaching instruction with the opportunity to share classroom experiences in a supportive and collaborative atmosphere. As well as lots of interaction on a peer-to-peer basis, there will also be experienced English teachers available for discussion and feedback.
To preserve the high quality of this course, we restrict group sizes to 12 .
Course Format
The 20-hour per week required course time includes 10 hours of Spanish lessons and 10 hours of Teacher Development. This includes input sessions at the school, regular assignments and language awareness tasks.
Four general modules cover technique, methodology, language acquisition and language awareness. For each module you will complete a series of reflective evaluations and critiques, create materials and lesson plans, and also keep a teaching journal.
These tasks and corresponding instruction will help to become a critically aware and confident teacher. In addition, all students will maintain a personal portfolio. Moreover, participating as a student in the Spanish lessons will provide further insights into the techniques and methodology used in teaching a foreign language.
Spanish Student Visa
As a student enrolled on the Spanish Student Visa Program, you will be free to live and work legally at a language school under a “convenio de prácticas” in Barcelona, and also travel freely around Europe.
You are eligible to apply for a Spanish Student Visa Type D if you are enrolled on our Teacher Development & Spanish Course for 7 months or longer.
