Marbella Elviria Summer Camp

The language course follows Enforex's innovative teaching methodology, which is competency-based and incorporates gamification to make learning engaging and effective. The approach focuses on developing linguistic skills in an immersion environment while also building critical thinking, creativity, and teamwork. Lessons emphasise conversation and communication so that students can immediately apply what they learn in their daily interactions with international and Spanish peers. All teachers hold specialist qualifications and have an average of eight to ten years of teaching experience. Students take an online placement test before arrival and are assigned to one of six levels, from beginner to proficiency, with a maximum of 15 students per class. Each class lasts 45 minutes, and students receive a certificate of completion and progress at the end of their stay. The curriculum includes grammar, speaking, listening, vocabulary, pronunciation, writing, and intercultural competence, all delivered through interactive and project-based activities.
