THE" FUN THEORY" IN TEACHING SPANISH

ENJOY LEARNING SPANISH

Music intelligence

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.

 

Visual intelligence

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.
