Program and Methodology

E.S.I. has developed several programs, which apply effective and practical conversational teaching methods to help students communicate in Spanish as quickly and easily as possible.

The class size (maximum of 4) allows professors to provide individual attention and assessment for each student.

The programs are designed for students of five different levels (survival, beginners, intermediates, advanced and superior).

We offer weekly programs and strongly suggest the 4-6 week programs for beginner students.

Students can start classes on any Monday and a placement test is given the first day (written and oral) to determine their placement within the school.

Our textbooks and materials are unique to E.S.I., created under the supervision of a trained philologist with experience teaching Spanish as a second language. E.S.I. provides each student with a Spanish workbook designed to support our methodology. Additional material includes a basic vocabulary book, verb conjugations and uses, writing, additional practice exercises, special vocabulary, reading, and comprehension exercises.
