Course description

Due to the high demand of Spanish teachers in the world, Hispania offers the ideal course for teachers or future teachers who want to further their profession as an ELE teacher. We have specified courses for native Spanish or Latin American teachers who hold a degree in Linguistics. However, we also have a course for those without a Linguistic University Degree, as well as for foreign students who have an advanced level of Spanish and want to become Spanish teachers.

These courses are both practical and effective. The objective of each course is to give future teachers the fundamental skills that they need in order to be successful teachers.

The staff at Hispania, escuela de español are very enthusiastic teachers who hold a degree in “ Filología Hispánica”. Every year we have an intake of more than 70% of the students from the previous year. This is due to the fact that Hispania, escuela de español is considered to be one of the leaders in Spanish Teaching. Our students openly agree with our teaching style and really feel they are LEARNING.
If you want to learn with the best, learn with Hispania!

"A short mix of holidays and learning Spanish."

Marja Leena Taivalkoski, student from Finland

Hispania school has a lot of students which causes rush-hours before beginning of the classes. We often had to change the class room. Some of them were small and less equipped. The teachers are very good, specifically I liked Estefan and his humor and encouragement. As I had to change my stay, I couldn’t have a family-housing moor. I lived in a hotel and didn’t have the chance of practice. I didn’t take part in activities of Hispania, because I had a lot to do by getting to know Valencia.

"Challenging but great"

Jamie G., student from UK

The overall experience was good. However, if I didn't have my phone/ a Spanish translating app, I probably would have cancelled going to the lessons. The classes were fairly advanced, even as a beginners class. Many of the other students had a fairly good understanding of Spanish, this made the class participation good. At times I would just sit and listen to their communication too. However it was easy to get lost in what tasks we were performing, as I would quickly have to translate it and therefore miss other details. In general I enjoyed it but yes, without my phone I would have been hopeless and lost.

When booking I saw it state "our teachers speak the following" and I believe English was listed. I assumed that English might be used on occasions, but the class was totally mixed/ international and entirely spoken Spanish.

Not sure if it was noted down, but I missed my last lesson. No other reason other than I had the opportunity to go to Granada and I left Valencia when my last lesson was taking place. Just wanted to let you know it was no other reason than that.

The teacher was very good and nice. Location was good, just a short distance from here I was staying. I experienced no activities at all or the housing, so I couldn't comment. The rooms were very small but neat, clean and tidy. They would only put the air-con on by request and for some reason all teachers had to share the same remote for the air-con. It wasn't uncommon to have teachers knocking on the door, entering and asking if we had the remote. Must be annoying for the staff there too.

"An amazing experience in the most adorabel city from Spain!"

Marina Chain Molina, student from Brazil

Hispania is a really good school!
If someone ask me , where do I should study Spanish at first I would say Valencia but after Hispania :)

The teacher`s are such nice person and also the classes are really nice but there are some points of attention:

1. It`s not nice to have students in the same level as you that are not able to follow the teachers or the others students, this should be revised.

2. Also is not good change classes every two weeks because when you start to feel your teacher and colleagues, you have to change.

3. All the staff from scholl is always ready to help you and answer for any kind of doubt that you may have.

4.Pillar, the lady that is responsible for the school house is simply the BEST!

"It was a good experience"

Thibaud Di Natale, student from Réunion

We enjoyed that we were in little group, with students from several nationalities. The relationships were better than in a big group. The level was adapted to each other. It was possible to schedule the courses with freestyle.

"Warm hearted, welcoming and diverse!"

Sebastian Scheitz, student from Germany

The school is very near to Benimaclet metro station and many student flats are in this barrio, so it should be no hassle for you to get there.

I have never met so many teacher that say that they are 18 years old haha - the teachers are very funny and friendly and if you stay a bit longer in one class it should be easy for you to spend even some time outside of your classes together.

The school offers different activities from excursions over museum and city tours to different presentations of music and culture.
They have also great connections to different Erasmus-organisations, so it is easy for you to meet also different people outside of the school.

"Great school, Irene is a great teacher, everything is sorted out for you and Valencia is a beautifull place !"

Annelotte Zwart, student from Netherlands

The classes were fun. Not too much people and the teacher (Irene) was the best. They only speak Spanish and still we understand. I send here a note afterwards. The location was perfect. The apartment was very close and I love the music they play during breaks.
Two tips - things that can be improved on would be:
- the apartment was very, very different from the pictures I got from Language International (and thus Hispania). I was in one of the old buildings. I had to wait a week before they had another apartment available -which was more like the pictures! So I would recommend to only send 'the pictures' with the note with the booking 'newer building please' because the student had already seen the picture.
- most of the activities were great. Some a bit boring. It was too long. An activity shouldn't take more than 1 or 2 hours I think.
The classroom facilities were also great and everybody would help you at the reception when there is a problem.

"Perfect"

Tamara Beck, student from Austria

All in all it was a perfect time for me! I met a lot of nice people and could learn a lot of Spanish! The teachers had been very friendly and motivating and it was easy to change classes and get an accommodation! Some accommodations are new and really nice but mine was not really clean and proper. Yeah, but I think it can be worse. There were a lot of possibilities to do activities in your free time! I love Valencia and Hispania was perfect!

Thanks for your nice words, Tamara.

We work hard for the excellency in all our services. So we would try to be even better for your next time with us. : )

Best regards from Valencia !

"Hispania, a profesional language teaching environment in an amazing atmosphere."

Filip Debeuf, student from Belgium

My language course at Hispania was a big success. Not only does the school offered excellent facilities, the teachers were professional, very proactive and enthusiastic. Also, a student was placed within a group of students that matches his or her level of Spanish. In total, there were almost 20+ classes that guide students in their quest to learn Spanish.
Also, the after school activities were fun and was a great way to get to know the city or other students. There was a wide variety of activities to choose from (one activity per day) and the activities itself were well organized.
I can also recommend staying with a host family, because it makes the immersion in the Spanish lifestyle complete. The family I stayed with was amazing and I couldn't have planned for a better way to feel at home in Valencia.
If I could give one little element of improvement, it would be the class study material. Every once and a while you get a print out to support a specific topic or grammar exercise, but I think it would be an improvement if students were offered a binder to keep all the information in. Maybe a text book could also be included, not necessarily to use in class but to study more at home.

But apart from that, I would recommend anyone who wants to learn/improve Spanish to go to this school!
