The teacher will use diverse techniques to work in the classroom in a comfortable and productive manner.
We take full advantage of all resources that can function as a support for the topics of study.
Along with the Spanish classes, we offer one visit to a health center per week, where students will face real medical situations. |
To practice the acquired knowledge in real life outside the school is essential for a successfull learning experience.
Activities like cultural exchange with native speakers and visits to medical centers will make it easier to learn this new language and especially the technical terms.
There are also many volunteer opportunities offered in clinics and local hospitals where students can practice what they´ve learned in the classroom. |
It is recommended that the curriculum remains open (subject to change) given that each teacher will have to choose which techniques are pertinent to any specific course.
Description of images to put in topractice the vocabulary used in the class
Representation of different situations that require medical attention
