Do you know what the Fun Theory is?
We do not need a specialist to know that if we like something we will learn faster and easier. It is clear that motivation is crucial to making anything that is difficult easy. Anything that requires dedication and perseverance such a learning a language can be transformed into fun and games to make it interesting not a shore.

Positive reinforcement motivates us to go ahead hence in Colegio Internacional Alicante we have used it as the
basis of our methodology. Here you have a very motivating video which I intend
to show you: The Fun Theory
Teamwork |
If you add to all together plus the experience of our teachers in the
communicative methodology, objectives and most important teamwork that we use
in teaching Spanish and also a deep knowledge of the Spanish grammar, you will
understand why our students enjoy all of our lessons, and why laughter and
smiles are fundamentals that define us, even in our logo. Always, of course, with a clear goal: you
will live, feel and speak Spanish from the very first day.
Furthermore, our methodology would not make sense if we did not put the
student at the centre of the teaching-learning process. We must find, reach and
capture each of the multiple intelligences that characterize us as individuals.
In our school, all ways of learning are happening during our lessons. This way,
none of the intelligences of our students will be lost. You will find exercises
which have: movement (for the bodily
students), songs (for musical once), individual work (for intrapersonal
students), interactive groups (for verbal and social once); where we will
deduce and analyse rationally (for logical); we will imagine from pictures and
even leap out of the classroom to be in contact with the natural environment
(for naturalistic learners)
According to experts, we all have 8 types of intelligences, but each of
us tends to have a more developed one than others, which naturally influences
the way we learn.
We invite you to take a test to discover what your dominant intelligences
are. Read the following proposals, flag with a colour that you like or things
that seem easy for you and discover your type of intelligences.
