English & Culture

Improve English while exploring Spanish culture. Students learn through projects, discussions, and cultural texts, then join a Saturday excursion to experience traditions first-hand.

The English & Culture programme helps students improve their English while exploring the traditions, history, and daily life of Spain. The course combines structured language lessons with cultural themes, encouraging students to use English to describe, discuss, and reflect on what they learn.

Through classroom projects, discussions, and cultural texts, students expand their vocabulary and communication skills while gaining insights into Spanish culture. The week concludes with a Saturday cultural excursion, where participants experience local traditions first-hand and apply their new language in real contexts.

By the end of the programme, students will have developed their English proficiency, built confidence in expressing cultural ideas, and deepened their understanding of Spain’s heritage.
