Expressive and Creative Writing in Spanish Workshops:
Expressive & Creative Writing workshops in Spanish held every second Friday at 11:15 am. Aimed at high inter B & advanced Spanish students.
Writing in a second language also invites introspection. It pushes you to reflect on your thoughts and feelings in ways you might not in your native tongue.
The practice of writing creatively in a language that is not their native language allows people to express themselves imaginatively while developing their fluency and understanding of the new language, often through genres like poetry, short stories, or personal essays; it can be a powerful tool for language learning, promoting engagement and enhancing vocabulary and grammar skills through imaginative expression.

Spanish Grammar Workshops:
The Spanish grammar workshops deal with specific grammatical topics that, in general, tend to be quite difficult for foreign students of Spanish.
Each workshop is divided into modules that, in turn, are organized into three parts:
- grammatical explanations with numerous examples,
- exercises with self-correction (they are presented in two formats: interactive and pdf),
- a mini-evaluation.
After studying a module, the student must perform the corresponding exercises with self-correction and ask their tutor any questions they have, then complete the mini evaluation and send it to the tutor for correction and comments.
