Teaching style

Due to globalization Spanish has become the second most studied language and second language in international communication. He knows to acquire a language, it requires special skills. Therefore, to help students become fluent in a romance language in less time than it would take someone studying with the traditional learning; the teacher likes to be researching, studying and updating his knowledge in teaching languages to provide his students new learning experiences and methods in order to help develop a proficient competence in speaking, listening, reading and writing in Spanish using real material and interactive activities. A key to acquiring a language is understanding the culture of different regions and societies, that’s why he likes to teach the idiomatic expressions in the language that is being taught and the contextual vocabulary meaning and usage in specific regions. His watchword is to “Make his students competitive, to face any language situation in any country where Spanish or English are spoken”.
