Just like students, El Aula Azul is convinced that a pleasant atmosphere is essential in the process of learning a foreign language. The student has to feel good and motivated to continue making progress in that process and that is the focus in El Aula Azul: To work closely, by personalizing the lessons and adapting themselves to the needs of each one of the students.
It is very important for El Aula Azul to take care of the class methodology. That is why they constantly train the teachers to adapt to the new developments in Spanish teaching so that the final result is well-structured quality classes in which students learn and enjoy at the same time.
However, although they know that a pleasant environment and a careful methodology are enough to learn, they do not guarantee an unforgettable experience and as that is what they want you to experience at the school, they offer you:
The best-located school in San Sebastián
An emblematic building in an unbeatable location of San Sebastián; within walking distance from La Concha beach, so you can enjoy the beach right after finishing your classes. In addition, the location in the heart of the city will make it possible for you to get to know the most interesting places, the most attractive shops, and the best-known bars and restaurants.
Facilities
El Aula Azul has four spacious, fully equipped classrooms designed for effective learning. They have computers, projectors, reference books, and everything you may need during your course. And when it's time to rest, there is a common area with sofas, a coffee machine, and a signboard where you will find the school's news as well as information about the activities and suggestions to make the most of your free time in San Sebastian.
Total immersion programme
At El Aula Azul, the priority is to help you practice your Spanish with a real and effective approach. With the classes, you'll improve and learn new things but if what you want is an authentic immersion in the language, they also offer a unique programme that will help you practice Spanish to the fullest.
Totally free and directed at students whose native language is English or who are fluent in English (C1 level). Upon arrival, El Aula Azul will offer you the option to participate in the programme through four options: Conversation pills, language exchanges, "talking pal", and debates and talks
A few days a month, and depending on student availability, they organize conversation sessions at the school with locals. Discussion themes and activities appropriate for the level of the students are proposed.
Every Tuesday evening, El Aula Azul organizes a language exchange in a bar in San Sebastián. It is supervised by one of the teachers who will be in charge of distributing time so that everyone can practice the language in which they are interested.
El Aula Azul will assign you a "buddy" who speaks Spanish with whom you can meet to complete different assignments given by your teacher. As they will be an English student, you must also help them with their assignments. How about if they help you write a piece about an interesting topic and you give them your opinion on another? A formula for collaborative learning where you can also meet new people.
Are you interested in collecting insects? Maybe origami? How about giving a talk in Spanish about a topic? A teacher will send you your mistakes afterwards so you can improve. Why not try talking about other topics in Spanish?
