We have been devoted exclusively since 1986 to teaching Spanish as a foreign language to students from all over the world. We feel that teaching a language does not take place just in the classroom, but also within a much broader context of social exchange and interaction. Cervantes E.I. is a teaching centre inside and outside of the classroom, with social and cultural activities, excursions and exchanges with Spaniards. This means that Cervantes E. I is a recognised centre and that many of our students return to our school year after year. This recognition is officially backed by the University of Alcalá de Henares, which has granted us its CEELE Quality Certificate, following biennial inspections.
Cervantes E.I. is located just two minutes from the beach and ten minutes by bus from the historic centre of town.
Málaga is a bright, sunny, cheerful city, surrounded by beautiful beaches and spectacular mountains.
We offer our students the following additional services: An internet room • A library, with a large and highly diversified collection of books on literature, art, history, etc.
• A video room • Exchanges between our students and Spanish language students • Tutoring after class for those students who need it.
Interactive method: Our extensive professional experience has allowed us to develop a system in which the method for communication is combined with a structured grammar integrated within the communication. Our courses, which are organised at eight different levels, concentrate on the four skills for learning a foreign language: auditory comprehension, written comprehension and oral and written expression.
