The course consists of 3 hours per week, divided into 2 sessions of 1 hour 30 minutes.

This provides the continuity needed to progress towards B1, combining the introduction of new language with regular practice, revision and consolidation of previous learning.

We work with small groups, normally with a maximum of 8 students, allowing for frequent participation and communication as well as close monitoring of individual progress.

Sessions combine listening, speaking, reading, writing, grammar and vocabulary, alongside communicative activities, projects and tasks that require students to integrate different skills and use English with increasing independence.

Homework is a regular part of the course and plays an important role in consolidating classroom learning, increasing exposure to English and developing study habits, organisation, responsibility and independence.

In Find Your Voice, the approach remains communicative, but students begin to use English to express increasingly personal, developed and complex ideas.

An important part of the course is helping students move from functional A2/A2+ English towards more flexible, accurate and independent language use, broadening the resources they need to maintain a conversation, talk about experiences, develop arguments, and express and justify their opinions.

Grammar is taught both in context and more explicitly when useful, with increasing attention paid to choosing appropriate structures, accuracy and the ability to combine different language resources. At the same time, students expand their vocabulary and work with expressions and word combinations that help them communicate more naturally.

Students also develop strategies to keep a conversation going, reformulate an idea when they cannot find a word, infer meaning, organise and review their writing, and understand increasingly complex information.

The aim is to progressively develop the confidence, language resources and independence needed to use English as a genuine tool for communication, both inside and outside the classroom.

Starting from an approximate A2/A2+ base, students broaden the language resources they need to communicate in an increasingly wide range of situations and progress towards B1.

Students extend and consolidate their use of present, past and future forms, incorporating structures that allow them to talk more precisely about experiences, plans, possibilities and hypothetical situations. They also develop the language needed to express obligation and advice, compare alternatives, explain causes and consequences, ask more complex questions, and express and justify opinions.

In speaking, students work towards longer and more spontaneous conversations, learning to initiate and develop interactions, ask follow-up questions, talk about experiences, respond to other people’s ideas, and express and justify their own points of view.

In reading, students work with stories, articles, informative texts and other materials appropriate to their age and level, developing strategies to understand main ideas, specific information, details, opinions and meanings that are not always stated explicitly.

In listening, students learn to follow longer, more natural conversations and audio, identify relevant information, and understand both the overall meaning and specific details, even when they do not understand every word or structure used.

In writing, students progress towards more developed and structured texts, including stories, emails, articles and opinion pieces, learning to organise their ideas, use linking words and improve their grammatical accuracy and range of vocabulary.

The aim is for students to develop an increasingly independent, flexible and confident command of English, progressively approaching or reaching B1 depending on their starting point and individual progress.

Do students need previous knowledge of English or a level test?

Yes. Find Your Voice is designed for students who already have an approximate A2/A2+ level and are ready to progress towards B1.

Students do not need to have completed previous Eureka courses. For new students, we may recommend a level test to make sure the course is suitable. We will also take into account age, school year, previous learning experience and individual needs.

For students who already study with us, we can normally recommend the most appropriate group based on their progress and work during the previous course.

What ages and school years is Find Your Voice designed for?

Find Your Voice is aimed primarily at students in 1st and 2nd ESO, although it may also be suitable for students in later years of Secondary school whose level and learning needs are compatible with the objectives of the group.

From this stage onwards, English level plays a particularly important role, although we also take age, school year and maturity into account when forming groups.

What level are students expected to reach?

The aim of Find Your Voice is to progress towards B1 level.

Depending on their starting level and pace of progress, some students may reach B1 during this stage, while others will move progressively closer to the level and continue consolidating it afterwards.

Levels are used as objectives and points of reference, rather than automatic outcomes at the end of a course.

Does Find Your Voice prepare students for Cambridge B1 Preliminary for Schools?

We use the skills and competencies associated with B1 Preliminary for Schools as a reference when establishing the language objectives of the course, and may incorporate some tasks similar to those found in the exam.

However, Find Your Voice is not a specific exam preparation course, and students are not required to take an official exam.

If a student would like to take B1 Preliminary for Schools at a later stage, we can assess their level and recommend the most appropriate time and preparation.

How are groups formed?

From this stage onwards, we place particular importance on each student’s English level and language-learning objectives.

We also take into account age, school year, maturity and pace of learning. Wherever possible, we aim to group students from nearby school years, creating balanced groups in which students can progress together and feel comfortable participating.

How many students are there in each group?

We work with small groups, normally with a maximum of 8 students, allowing for frequent participation and close monitoring of each student’s progress.

Are the teachers native English speakers?

Our team consists of native English-speaking teachers or teachers with an equivalent level of English, selected both for their command of the language and their ability to work with teenagers and adapt lessons to their age, level and needs.

Are classes taught entirely in English?

English is the main language of communication in the classroom, and students are expected to use it for an increasing proportion of each lesson.

Spanish or Catalan may occasionally be used when useful to clarify language points or facilitate learning.

Will students have homework?

Yes. Homework is a regular and important part of the course, helping students consolidate what they have learned, practise different skills and increase their exposure to English outside the classroom.

It also helps students develop organisation, responsibility, study habits and greater independence.

What happens if a student misses a class?

If a student is unable to attend a class, we will provide the information or materials needed to keep up with the group, where applicable. As these are group classes, sessions missed due to a student’s absence cannot be made up individually or deducted from the course fee.

How are monthly fees calculated?

The price is calculated based on the full academic year and teaching calendar, and the total amount is divided into 10 equal monthly payments. The monthly fee therefore does not correspond to the exact number of classes held during that particular month.

Due to public holidays, school holidays and the distribution of the academic calendar, some months contain more classes than others, but these variations are already taken into account in the total course price.

What happens if Eureka has to cancel a class?

If Eureka has to cancel a class and we are unable to provide a substitute teacher, we will offer a replacement session. If it is not possible to reschedule the class, the corresponding amount will be deducted from the following fee, whether paid monthly or termly.

Are there any discounts available?

Yes. We offer a 5% Family Members (FM) discount on monthly fees when two or more members of the same family are enrolled. In addition, students who are members of Club Natació Sabadell may be eligible for a discount on the enrolment or place reservation fee. Full conditions can be found under Discounts.

Family Members (FM)

When two or more members of the same family are enrolled at Eureka, each receives a 5% discount on their monthly fee while their enrolments overlap during the course. For example, if two siblings are enrolled, both receive a 5% discount on their monthly fee.

Club Natació Sabadell Members (CNS)

Students who are members of Club Natació Sabadell can benefit from a €10 discount on the enrolment or place-reservation fee:

• New students: enrolment fee of €35 instead of €45.
• Current students: place-reservation fee of €20 instead of €30.

Discount Conditions

The Family Members (FM) discount applies to the monthly fees of each family member.

The discount for students who are members of Club Natació Sabadell (CNS) applies only to the enrolment or place-reservation fee, as applicable.

Discounts and promotions cannot be combined, unless explicitly stated otherwise in the conditions of a particular promotion.
