The cornerstone of our intensive Spanish courses is a strong focus on developing communicative skills. For this reason a key component of the Quatorial program is the Spoken Performance Workshop. It is a fully communicative session where the students learn to relax, not to worry about grammatical accuracy and focus entirely on maintaining communication with the other students.

The tutor is there to ensure that the conversation does not break down and to give actice prompts and if necessary tips on how to introduce opinions, solicit arguments, and negotiate difficulties with listening comprehension.

In order to learn Spanish effectively it is crucial that students develop confidence and fluency. The tutors therefore also work on key aspects of non verbal communication, word stress, rhythm, and intonation that helps bring the students´ Spanish to life and enable them to become truly effective communicators.
