The methodology is active and communicative. The student speaks from the starting day. Groups consist of an average of 6 to 12 participants, intermittently also up to 14, and an hour of instruction consists 50
minutes. Students are given a written and oral test on arrival and placed in a class according to their knowledge of Spanish. Everyday, students are given written homework and may take an examination at the end of their course. At the end of the course the school will issue a certificate to the student, but the Colegio Internacional Alicante does reserve the right to refuse such a certificate to any student who did not attend 90% of classes. We insist that all our students complete daily homework exercises and attend all their classes. This is to enable the whole class to progress rapidly and at the same pace. The Intensive Course are scheduled in the morning  with 20 lessons per week.
