Cambridge School Methodology

At Cambridge School we follow what is known as the 'Communicative Approach', the language learning methodology that has been developed over the last 30 years and which is predominant in Europe and the rest of the world.

With the Communicative Approach, students use the language they are studying from day one in class. Even though the grammar and vocabulary are studied by reading and writing, emphasis is students being able to communicate, which is why the classes include a lot of speaking and listening practice, often in pairs or small groups, maximizing the speaking and listening time for each student

Learning with native teachers has, among others, the advantage of a perfect pronunciation correction and a natural selection of vocabulary.

The minimum number of students per class is 5, and the maximum 15, with an average of between 8 and 10. Small groups guarantee speaking practice for each student and following the process for each student, individually, by the teacher.

Classes are varied, dynamic and highly interactive. Teachers use games, interesting texts and audio-visual material to make learning easier and ensure assimilation.

We believe in the "Discovery Method", whereby it is the students themselves through working, in pairs or groups, who discover the grammar rules. It is then that the teacher clarifies any doubts. In this way, the students, thanks to their own effort, will remember the grammar rules because of their active link with the understanding of the language, which is obviously much better than passively listening to grammar explanations.

Our courses are clearly structured and programmed. Each level follows a book, as well as a film and a reader. Students are given homework every week to consolidate work done in class. Progress of the student is regularly evaluated with tests and exams.
