Learning activities
During group lessons, students quickly develop their comprehension and oral expression skills. On arrival, they are divided into groups on the basis of a detailed evaluation.
Groups have a maximum of 9 participants.
During the workshops, students consolidate the linguistic elements they have been working on in the lessons (grammar, vocabulary, phonetics) and gain familiarity with the structures through activities such as language games.
Supervised study is devoted to preparing for the next day’s lessons, working on written exercises and revision activities.
Students have the option of complementing their programs with private lessons in order to satisfy specific needs, such as preparing for an exam, summarizing texts, analyzing literary texts, reinforcing the work done in group lessons, addressing certain grammatical weaknesses etc. (1 private lesson per day, 2 or 4 days per week).
The socio-cultural activity offers students an insight into the culture associated with the Spanish language through presentations, games, films or other activities.
Sports and leisure activities
Every day, and at weekends (for stays lasting longer than a week), CERAN Activity Organizers offer a variety of activities* inside or outside the center, conducted in Spanish. [* Non-exhaustive list of selected activities]

Adapting to you
In order to put together the most suitable program for your needs and objectives, CERAN teachers carry out a detailed analysis of your needs, target language level and objectives at the beginning of the course.
Throughout the course, you are assisted by a tutor who daily assesses what has been learned and adjusts the personal objectives where necessary to enable you to get the most out of the course.
At the end of the course, the tutor draws up a new linguistic diagnosis, comparing the results obtained with the objectives that had been set.
After the course, a computer-generated report is sent to you containing personalized recommendations on how you can continue learning.
