Courses
The methodological and pedagogical foundations of our classes are in agreement with state of the art research advancements in the language teaching area. They are also the result of the work experience that the teachers at Viator have accumulated for long in the USA and Spain where the teaching of Spanish as a second language has already come a long way.
           
The regular courses are designed specifically for foreign students of university level. They have two 90-minute long classes per week, complemented with extra activities such as watching films, field and cultural activities and excursions. Students are expected to participate in a creative and active way. All courses are taught entirely in Spanish.

The language class will be assigned to the student according to his or her level of Spanish, to the marks obtained in a placement exam taken as soon as they arrive and according to the specific offer of courses during that particular semester.

The optional classes can be chosen from the list available for a particular semester and only those students who have the language level (intermediate / advanced) necessary to complete them successfully will be allowed to participate.
