Is English taught badly in Spain? We disprove this idea with O Castro British International School's English National Curriculum.
English language teaching in Spain has been criticised for many years. Only 22% of Spanish professionals believe that they speak English correctly. Many experts and parents believe that English is poorly taught in Spanish schools, resulting in low levels of language proficiency among students. However, this perception is not universal, and there are methodologies and educational systems that demonstrate that it is possible to teach English effectively and efficiently.
Goodbye to English taught badly! A bilingual approach from day one
At O Castro British International School you can certainly not say that English is taught badly because we follow the English National Curriculum, a methodology that is internationally recognised for its commitment to academic excellence and practical learning. This approach enables us to provide a fully bilingual education from the very first day of school, whilst complying with the educational requirements set by the Galician government. This unique combination of curricula ensures that our students not only learn English, but also master it at a native level.
English taught badly? New ways to learn!
Our classes are structured to ensure that each student receives the personalised attention they need to access all parts of the curriculum and maximise their academic potential. We strongly believe in teaching tailored to individual needs, and to this end, we conduct regular assessments that allow teachers to identify the areas in which each student is strongest and those in which they need extra reinforcement.
Our curriculum is meticulously designed to support, guide and educate all students, regardless of their abilities. This personalised and adaptive attention is one of the reasons why our students achieve high levels of proficiency in English.
Results and awards that endorse our method
Our experience and the volume of students who have passed through our classrooms are testimony to the success of our methodology. Students who follow our programme not only learn English, but also develop a deep and practical understanding of the language, enabling them to use it confidently in real-life situations. Gone are the days when English is taught badly in Spain.
The recognition of our approach and the achievements of our students are proof that teaching English well is possible. We are proud of our methodology and the results we have achieved, and we will continue to work to improve and adapt our teaching techniques so that every student can reach their full potential.
In conclusion, although it is said that English is taught badly in Spain, our institution demonstrates that with the right methodology, it is possible to teach English effectively and produce competent bilingual students. Our combination of curriculum and personalised attention allows us to provide a high-quality education that prepares our students for success in a globalised world.
