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. |
