Spanish Summer camp for juniors
COLEGIO DE ESPAÑOL LA JANDA, Vejer de la Frontera
Costa de la Luz, Cadiz
The Junior Course at Colegio
de Español La Janda combines two fundamental aspects: the suitability of Vejer
de la Frontera for this type of program and the quality of the teaching at our
school.
Vejer de la Frontera is a small town near the sea
(the nearest beach is eight kilometers away) that has preserved all the feeling
and style of an Andalusian town. Vejer still maintains a balance between the
cultural and leisure activities and the safety and peacefulness of its streets.
Making the most of Vejer’s geographical situation, with our teachers and group
leaders we organise all sorts of sports activities, on the beach (canoes,
kitesurf, windsurf), in the surrounding countryside (walks, bicycle rides and
horse-riding) and in Vejer itself (sports activities with young people from
Vejer).
The town is ideal for juniors to come and learn
Spanish, as it offers a great combination of traditional Spain, an excellent
variety of summer activities, the wonderful coastline nearby and a good level
of protection offered by the small and friendly atmosphere of Vejer.
The syllabus followed on the Junior Course is based on the
interests of the students and completely focused on the development of their
linguistic skills in a communicative and effective way. The extra-curricular
activities are fully complementary to the lessons studied in the class-room.
What are the classes like?
The teachers at Colegio de
Español La Janda have received an excellent specialised training and have years
of experience in the teaching of Spanish. One of the characteristics of our
school is the intimate family atmosphere of the classes, thanks to which
students are able to learn about Spanish language and culture in a pleasant and
effective manner. The subjects of the classes are directed towards the
interests and needs of the junior students. We offer four different levels of
classes:
• A1 Beginners. Students who
have never studied Spanish before begin to understand basic structures and
vocabulary and to take part in general conversation.
• A2 Elementary. Students
who have already studied some Spanish can add to their knowledge with more
vocabulary, practice more complicated structures and above all, speak and
understand with greater ease.
• B1 Intermediate. Students
who have been studying Spanish for some time can enter into more advanced
structures, read and write with greater fluency and understand native speakers
more easily.
• C1 Advanced. Students are
able to perfect their Spanish, fill in the remaining gaps in vocabulary and
grammar and practice the four main linguistic skills – reading, writing,
listening, speaking.
What
are our activities like?
The program of
extra-curricular activities, which is a fundamental part of our Junior Course,
is contributed to by both teachers and the group leader who coordinates the
activities with other professionals (guides and other teaching and pastoral
staff). The idea of this program is for students to enjoy their free time and to
use it to reinforce what they have learnt in school.
· Beach
activities Making the most of the fact
that we are very close to the Atlantic beaches of El Palmar and Los Caños de
Meca, which are famous for their size and cleanliness, we organise mini-courses
of various sports like canoeing, kitesurf and windsurf and also excursions to
other beaches of interest.
· Walks
and bicycle rides Since Vejer has very
beautiful natural surroundings, the school organises walks in order for
students to get to know the town and the nearby countryside, particularly the
natural parks and the historical sites of the Roman aqueduct at Santa Lucía and
the Visigoth chapel at San Ambrosio. Some of these outings are made on foot and
others by bicycle. We can also arrange horse-riding for students who are
interested
· Excursions
In order for students to get
to know at first-hand the most interesting cities and natural spaces in the
area, we arrange a series of excursions to places like Seville, Granada,
Cordoba, Ronda, Cadiz, Tarifa and Jerez. We also arrange visits to the local
natural parks of el Pinar de Barbate, Los Alcornocales and Grazalema.
· Cooking
classes Our students learn to cook
(and practice their Spanish) with the help of mothers from Vejer families who
teach them how to make a paella or how to toss a tortilla. Afterwards, it’s off
to the
garden to eat it!
· Music
workshops Our flamenco teachers and
other musicians are specialised in the teaching of percussion and rhythm using
games.
· Dance
workshops These are mini-courses
designed to introduce students to sevillanas and the rhythm of salsa, so that
they can have a good time after class and between beach trips. Later,
during the parties, students can show what they have
learnt.
· Sports
activities In order for our students to
get to know the young people of Vejer, we organise a series of sports
activities with the local youth club at the Sports Centre– football, basketball
and volleyball.
· Juggling
workshop Students first learn to make
their own juggling balls, clubs and cariocas with the course leader and then to
juggle.
· Gymkhana
An ideal game for getting to
know the old town centre and more of the history of Vejer and to practise
Spanish with people in the street. And also to have a good time. Young people
love to play this game in Vejer’s narrow streets.
· Cultural
talks These talks are adapted to
the level of Spanish and the knowledge of Spanish culture of our students.
There are talks about history and art, and also about current affairs and
subjects which are of interest to young people
· Story-telling
and theatre Activities to join in with
to practise the language and to have a good time with professional performers
who tell funny and exciting stories or put on plays in the school garden.
· Spanish
cinema We select and show some of
the best Spanish and Hispanic films and later discuss them with the students
· Mosaic
workshop An experienced teacher gives
this workshop in the school garden. Students are able to learn the basic techniques
of mosaics and at the end they have something to take home.
