Cervantes Escuela Internacional in Malaga Cervantes International Spanish Language School is located in the lovely neighborhood of Pedregalejo, a residential area just 15 minutes east of Malaga's downtown area. Originally a fishing village, Pedregalejo was later annexed by the city of Malaga, though its past can still be seen in the many fishing boats and seafood restaurants which line the neighborhood's picturesque shoreline.
Pedregalejo's beaches are located just a two minute's walk from the school.

Spanish courses in Malaga

The first day of the school, besides doing the examination to determine your level, and finding out about your level, course and teachers, you will receive a packet with the following information:

Information bulletin about Cervantes International
Information guides and city plans

You will meet the person assigned to you to help you with travel arrangements, bookings, car hire, complementary activities, the bank, the post office, restaurants, etc.

At the end of the course Cervantes International will present you with:

An Attendance Certificate, specifying the type of course you have taken and the number of hours attended.
A school report: regularly we will make a test to evaluate the progress of each student. The tutor will explain how your learning is progressing, revising and consolidating the necessary points. At the end of the course and at the end of each four week period, you will receive a report on your progress with detailed comments on each skill area. Your tutor will give you regular reports, so that you can check your progress.

On the first day you will receive a text book that covers grammar, exercises, vocabulary, composition and conversation material. Our experienced teachers augment this with our own teaching materials, special publications, information from the internet and audio-visual material in order to give you a complete immersion in all aspects of the language.

During more than twenty years of experience we have had our teaching staff continually improve and update the Cervantes International teaching materials and all our written material is supported by the latest developments in audio, CD and video materials. You will have access to a library with more than 400 books by Spanish and Latin American authors. Many of them are sorted according to levels of difficulty of Spanish, and the teachers will help you choose the books most suited to your requirements.

Our wide professional experience has enabled us to develop a teaching system that combines the communication process with structured grammar that is integrated in the communication itself. In our courses we have integrated: oral comprehension, written comprehension, oral and written expression; and the three objectives: linguistic, communicative and sociocultural.

This method is organised throughout the six levels (Europe common framework of Reference for Languages), to allow you to learn and perfect all the skills of the language according to your requirements, in a form both practical and enjoyable. Through different types of activities you will acquire and perfect the skills of reading, listening, speaking and writing Spanish fluently.

To learn a language means to live it and to do this one must immerse oneself in the culture. We offer our students the opportunity to learn about various aspects of our culture: customs, civilization, history, art & literature.

Every week we offer a dynamic, lively and imaginative program of extracurricular activities, which are the perfect complement to your Spanish studies. They will help you to learn new vocabulary and practise what you already know thanks to our highly qualified team of activities and excursions leaders who will answer any query you may have. At Cervantes EI we want you to take part in the activities we offer, so we are always open to your suggestions for new activities and excursions.

The accommodation is an essential part of your stay in Malaga, Spain, that is why Cervantes International pays special attention to its selection, through periodic visits and the feedback from students. Most students select Spanish host family and we highly recommend this choice. However, for those students who wish to be more independent we can highly recommend the School Residence or the Shared Apartments, managed by the Cervantes International School. Whichever option you choose you can be assured of the best quality accommodation which has been inspected and recommended by a member of the Cervantes International school.
