PROGRAMME DESCRIPTION:
Denia is a perfect location for juniors because it is very safe and perfect to immerse in the language and culture, and have fun taking part in our social, cultural and sports activities.
This is a dynamic course adapted to the needs of the group of teenagers and it focuses mainly on increasing the student’s confidence when using the target language. By incorporating all four of the language skills (reading, listening, speaking, and writing) into the class we allow for each student to receive a well-rounded education.
During the afternoon, after eating at home, students of the Teens Summer Programme do daily activities with an activity leader of the school. We have many activities going on, including games at the beach, hiking, snorkeling, cultural visits, etc., and on weekend some excursions such as water parks, visiting other cities, among others. These activities are all included in the package.
ACCOMMODATION IN A HOSTFAMILY:
The accommodation is with carefully selected host families who not only treat the students as if they were their own children, but who have also had previous experience with foreign youngsters and who are very committed to practicing the language being learnt. The school regularly reviews how the children are being treated and the conditions in which they are staying, ensuring the most successful trip possible.

COURSE METHODOLOGY:
Encouraging teens to learn Spanish and making it easy for them is one of the biggest gifts we can give them. It’s a fact that knowing more than one language opens plenty of doors, not only work-wise, but also socially, mentally and culturally. Some benefits of learning a language at an early age are better linguistic skills (ever heard of children referred to as “sponges”?), higher academic achievement and cognitive benefits such as enhanced creativity, better critical thinking and problem solving skills, among others.
Children and teenagers are in a key period of their lives in which learning a language results much more natural to them. They are like “sponges” and are therefore able to absorb the knowledge of a new language extremely fast.
Learning a language has many cognitive benefits for them: it develops their creativity, their critical thinking, problem solving and their written and oral expression.
Younger kids start to formulate their first sentences through games and crafts, as they learn by imitation. Teenagers learn Spanish in a dynamic way, not only with academic exercises but with dynamic interactive activities: role-playing, project creation, debates, etc. Research shows that knowing more than one language opens many doors, not only professionally but also personally and cognitively.
