Courses for non-native teachers of Spanish
These Spanish courses are designed in accordance with the budgets established by the Council of Europe related to teacher training.
Teaching ability includes a range of communication, intercultural and learning skills.
The objective of this course is to provide the non-native Spanish teacher with ideas that stimulate their creativity in the classroom, using all kinds of educational resources, and assist them in the process of perfecting the Spanish language.
Methodology and didactic sessions can include:
- Vocabulary learning
- Recycling
- Learner autonomy
- Motivating learners to speak
- Project work in the classroom
- The use of drama and role-play
- Different ways of teaching Spanish grammar
- Language awareness activities
Refresh your knowledge
When we organise each course at Delta Language School we take into account the teacher's level in the Spanish language as well as the age of the pupils their teaching is aimed at.
If requested in advance, these courses can be offered at any time of the year and normally last two weeks. Longer or shorter courses are also available.
At Delta Language School we know that each teacher is different and, therefore, we are flexible and adapt the course to their needs. Our “Teacher Refresher Courses” can have a specific focus, if you like, on any linguistic area that interests you.

Comenius Funding
One of the objectives of the EU with the Comenius programme is to promote language learning and intercultural awareness
If you are a teacher of Spanish as a foreign language in an EU country, you can request a grant of up to 1500 euros through the Comenius Programme applied to teacher training courses. The grant is to cover the fees of the refresher course, travelling expenses to Spain and living expenses.
If you are interested in this subsidized course, Delta Language School will assist you in following the necessary procedures by sending you a pre-enrollment document from Spain that you must present in the Comenius National Agency in your country together with your application form. In addition, you must submit a detailed description of the Spanish course that will also be provided to you by Delta Language School.
