METHODOLOGY

The gastro-linguistic course works as single piece in which all its parts are conected. This original custom-made idea offers the students the chance of discovering the Spanish gastronomy and the language inside it.

We focus on the integration of language learning with culinary experiences. The methodology emphasizes the exploration of gastronomy-related vocabulary, grammar, and linguistic concepts within the context of food and cuisine.

The methodology employed in this gastronomy language learning program is immersive and experiential. It involves a combination of classroom instruction, practical activities, and culinary experiences to facilitate language acquisition and cultural understanding by immersing participants in the rich gastronomic traditions of Spain.

Every day is a brand new chapter seasoned with topics properly interrelated. Mornings, from 9.00 to 13.00, are the time to explore that culinary topics through videos, audios, activities, texts, conversations, games and other surprises such as guest lecturers and experts in the field... this part happens in the classroom. In the afternoons and evenings the lessons are completed with culinary practical activities.

So the gastro-linguistic course takes place at two different stages:

In the classroom: where they will discover new issues and trends of the Spanish gastronomy and its proper jargon/ language through practical and entertaining activities and outside the clasroom, where to put into practice what they have learnt ( learn to prepare traditional and modern Spanish dishes, ordering food, discussing menus, interacting with restaurant staff...).

ASSESSMENT

The students are evaluated on basis of the duration of the course. Assessment will be continuous and the student's development on the basis of the exercises submitted over the entire course will be valued.

All those who wish or need it will be able to make an oral and a written test to determine his/her knowledge of the course.
