Spanish Refresher Course + Federico García Lorca (1 week)
During our programme native and non-native teachers of Spanish participate in a language course and combine lessons with activities related to Federico García Lorca.
Description
This programme is aimed at native and non-native teachers of Spanish who teach Spanish abroad.
Federico García Lorca was born in a small village near Granada in 1898. He was a Spanish poet, dramatist, theatre director and an emblematic member of the Generation of '27. On the 19th of August 1936, at the beginning of the Spanish Civil War, he was murdered by members of the Fascist group the 'Falange'.
García Lorca's assassination was part of a campaign of mass executions to eliminate all the supporters and allies of the Popular Front. Later, the Franco regime placed a general ban on Federico García Lorca's work.
Consequently, his plays Blood Wedding, Yerma and The House of Bernarda Alba were prohibited during the Franco years. Lorca is now universally recognised as one of the greatest Spanish poets of the century, and he is certainly Spain's greatest dramatist since the Golden Age.
During our programme we organise historical walks in Granada as well as a guided visit to the Lorca Museum in Fuentevaqueros. The programme includes the entrance to the Alhambra.
Ƶing objectives
Course objectives:
- To update participants' knowledge of Spanish and improve their linguistic competence in Spanish.
- To offer a space for resolving linguistic doubts and to deepen the knowledge of problematic aspects of Spanish.
- To broaden and update socio-cultural knowledge of Spanish history and the life of Federica García Lorca (Spanish civil war/Franco dictatorship/memoria historica).
- To update the knowledge of the reality of today's Spain.
Methodology & assessment
Our Intensive 20 course is focused on the development of linguistic competence. A special focus is placed on linguistic questions and doubts. In addition, participants will be able to expand their knowledge of the most problematic grammatical aspects. The course will focus on mainly practical tasks and activities, encouraging linguistic immersion and reflection on the learning process.
For native Spanish teachers we replace the Intensive 20 course with a private programme on practical methodology in the classroom (2 private lessons of 45 minutes per day from Monday to Friday).
