Spanish course – Secondary and High school. The tutoring at ELE USAL Strasbourg is a personalized care dedicated to secondary and high school students who wish to improve their level in Spanish (LVA, LVB and LVC) with qualified and native teachers.

Reminder of the objectives of the competency levels of secondary school and definition of those of high school:

By the time they enter high school, all students have studied two foreign or regional languages.

• For LV1 (LVA in high school), at the end of secondary school, all students must have reached at least the level A2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) (2001) in the five communicative activities (listening comprehension, spoken production, spoken and written interaction, reading comprehension, written production).

• The activities that we offer allow students to reach the B1 level of the CEFR in many of the previous communicative activities.

• For LV2 (LVB in high school), the level A2 of the CEFR must be achieved in at least two communicative activities.

In year 11, students can choose a third modern or regional language, the LVC.

Whether your child is in secondary or in high school, our school offers support courses adapted to the official LVA / LVB / LVC Spanish teaching programme. Classes are made up of small groups (between 3 and 6 students), are given by a qualified teacher and follow the school calendar in order to provide adapted and effective solutions. Spanish courses for 11 to 18-year-olds in Strasbourg enable children and teenagers to increase their knowledge of the Hispanic language and culture. The aim is to learn how to communicate in various situations, to acquire vocabulary and grammatical structures and to master the principles of pronunciation. The courses are adapted to your child, whatever his/her age or level.

METHODOLOGY

The cultural content defined by the programme guides the choice of vocabulary. Vocabulary and grammar are always approached from documents and always in connection with a context of use. However, in high school, students’ greater intellectual maturity allows them to develop a reasoned and more systematised approach to the various components of the language, i.e. vocabulary, grammar, phonology and spelling. The variety of the documents that are used offers great lexical knowledge, mainly in a context of use. In this way, the student’s vocabulary is enriched. Thus, vocabulary acquisition does not consist in learning isolated words: vocabulary is studied in a specific context and according to the communication needs, which makes it possible to understand how words syntactically fit into the statement.

In the learning process of a modern language, the study of grammar is not an end in itself. It is one of the tools that enable you to complicate and perfect the handling of the language and to enrich your reflection. It is by understanding the mechanisms of the language that the student becomes increasingly autonomous. From the documents used in class, the pupil is led to discover the rules of the language, to identify the syntactic elements that constitute the document, in order to assimilate them.

In addition, the teaching of Spanish (as well as for any other modern language) must allow students to be part of a dynamic process. They are encouraged to keep practicing the language outside of the course: watching films, documentary series, listening to the radio, using various resources in the original language thanks to mobile tools (smartphones, tablets).

In class, the teacher favours setting up projects based on educational scenarios that articulate and contextualise the exercises, which gradually lead to written or oral activities.

One of the important parts of this Spanish language course is to develop students’ intercultural awareness of the Hispanic world. To become aware of cultural diversity and its influence on our world view. To realise that even if the language is one language, the culture is as vast as it is beautiful. Each country has something to give us, each Hispanic variety implies a way of life to discover. In this Spanish course for secondary and high school students, they will learn how to recognise this diversity and to know the different habits and lifestyles of the Hispanic world. Thus, they will develop strategies to become familiar with this diversity. They will discover the aspects of each culture and they will learn about the Hispanic historical heritage and also about the values and norms of each culture.

To this end, we offer mixed pedagogical approaches focusing on communication. Oral expression is very important here, because we know that the main goal of learning is to communicate. The activities we propose will make you deal with a real communicative situations so that you can really feel your progress during the training. Reading comprehension plays an important role as well and written expression is also developed in a more independent way.
