Placement test
After enrollment, you will be given a written placement test in order to determine your proficiency level in Spanish.
You will take an oral placement test either by skype or once you are in Panama.
Class Size and Combined levels
While class size depends on the number of students enrolled at each level, all classes have a maximum limit. The maximum for group classes is 7. We keep these classes small because it is especially important that students have many opportunities to speak.
Textbooks
In levels: Inicial 1- Avanzado, ELE-branded texts are used in Structure/Speaking Practice and Reading/Writing classes. The content has been tailored exclusively for Spanish as second language learners, which by the way adjust to what the Instituto de Cervantes curriculum and methodology suggests.
