Iria Flavia Idiomas
Iria Flavia was born in Santiago de Compostela in 1994. This
small and friendly Spanish school is located in
the historic district of the city, only a few yards from the cathedral.
The average number of students in the Spanish language classes is 5 with a maximum of 8
students per class. The school has a maximum capacity for 66 students. This
arrangement creates an intimate and pleasant atmosphere for learning in which it is easy
for students to interact with each other. In addition, they have designed a Language
Exchange Program with local Spanish students, so that visitors from other countries can
get to know native speakers and profit as much as possible from their stay in Santiago de Compostela.
All teachers on staff hold university degrees in Spanish Philology, with specialization in the
teaching of Spanish as a foreign language. Teaching methods are based on the communicative
approach. Special emphasis is placed on conversation, so that students can make themselves
understood in Spanish right from the start.
Courses combine the study of grammar and vocabulary with practical work in Spanish
conversation and pronunciation. Complementary activities include debates, role plays,
literary texts, newspapers, audio tapes, and videos.
Class size is limited to 8 students in all courses. Class hours are 60 minutes long. |
