De framsteg du gör under en kurs i spanska utomlands är direkt kopplade till hur mycket spanska du får tillfälle att tala utanför klassrummet under verkliga omständigheter.
Här hittar du de olika aktiviteter som organiseras efter undervisningen under innevarande vecka. Se hur lätt det är att tala spanska!
SPAIN TODAY
FRANCO
In general, the Spanish democratic transition is considered as a peaceful and successful period in the recent history of Spain. Despite this, the footprints of almost forty years of Franco´s dictatorship are still prevalent in many aspects of Politics, Economics and the Spanish society.
During this conference we will discuss the life, the character and the personality of one of the key figures to understand the Spain of the twentieth century: the dictator Francisco Franco.
PROFILES
AN IMMIGRATION EXPERT
According to the National Statistics Institute, in late 2010, the foreign population in Spain will be between 4 and 5.5 million people, between 9% and 12% of the total population.
Spain is one of the ports of entry for immigrants into the European Union and the tragedies of the boats (illegal and ill-conditioned boats that cross the Straits of Gibraltar with immigrants who want to enter Spain) are constantly in the News.
This week in =elemadrid=, we will talk with an immigrant who works in Spain as an intercultural social mediator, helping newcomers to adjust to their new way of life. With her, we will talk about immigration, the Spanish policy towards immigrants, racism and her personal experience in Madrid.
DISCOVER MADRID
THE BLIND MUSEUM
The Blind Museum presents the cultural heritage of ONCE – Spanish National Blind Organization – and was created for the blind and visually impaired people so that they can know the collection by touching.
=elemadrid= offers you a Spanish class in the model room of the museum, analysing the main Spanish monuments: the Alhambra in Granada, the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, the Monastery of San Lorenzo...
BON APPETIT
LUNCH WITH THE TEACHERS
Every Thursday, the students have the opportunity to eat with the teachers of =elemadrid= and continue practicing Spanish. This week we go to a typical Madrilenian tavern very close to the school. You can check the menu of the day at school!
Madrid, besides having its own traditional dishes, is a city where you can easily find the great variety (do not only reduce it to the Valencian Paella and the Andalucian Gazpacho!) of the Spanish cuisine.
MEDIA SESSION
A SPANISH MOVIE: CRIMEN FERPECTO
In =elemadrid=, you have the opportunity to discuss and analyse the great films of the Spanish cinemas.
Crimen Ferpecto is one of the movies by the Spanish director Alex de la Iglesia.
