The course consists of 1.5 hours of English per week, allowing us to work on the different language skills in a balanced way and dedicate more time to the active use of English.

Classes combine communicative activities, listening, reading and writing, at a dynamic pace appropriate for the students’ age and level.

Homework is an important part of the course and will be set every week to reinforce and consolidate what has been covered in class and gradually encourage greater independence and good study habits.

Our approach remains practical and communicative, while encouraging students to become increasingly independent and use English confidently in a wider range of situations.

Listening and speaking continue to play a fundamental role, with activities that help students understand longer messages, take part in simple conversations and express their ideas more clearly.

Reading and writing become increasingly important, with level-appropriate texts and activities that progressively develop students’ ability to understand information, organise their ideas and produce simple texts more independently.

Grammar and vocabulary are taught in context and as part of meaningful communication, helping students not only recognise new structures but also use them with increasing confidence.

Throughout the course, students work with an increasingly broad range of topics and situations, expanding the vocabulary, expressions and structures they need to communicate with greater independence.

Topics may include everyday life, school, relationships, hobbies, travel, technology, the environment, culture and the world around them, always using materials and activities appropriate for their age.

Students learn to talk about experiences and plans, describe people, places and situations, express preferences and simple opinions, make comparisons and suggestions, and take part in everyday exchanges using a wider range of language.

We develop listening, speaking, reading and writing in an integrated way, gradually introducing longer texts and audio and helping students produce simple but increasingly complete and well-organised messages and texts.

Is any previous knowledge of English required?

Yes. This course is designed for students who already have a foundation in English at approximately A1+ level and are ready to build on their knowledge and progress towards A2. Each student’s previous experience and current level will be taken into account when considering the most appropriate group.

How are groups organised by age and level?

5th Primary (ages 10–11) is the reference school year, although age, previous experience, level and group availability are also taken into account. At this stage, English level plays an increasingly important role when forming groups and ensuring appropriate progression.

Will there be homework?

Yes. Homework is a regular part of the course and will be set every week to reinforce and consolidate what has been covered in class, increase students’ contact with English outside the classroom and gradually develop greater independence and good study habits.

What happens if a student misses a class?

If a student is unable to attend a class, we will provide the information and/or materials needed to catch up, whenever possible. As these are group classes, sessions missed due to a student’s absence cannot be made up individually and are not deducted from the course fees.

Our fees are calculated on the basis of an average of 35 teaching weeks per academic year. The exact number of sessions may vary slightly depending on the day of the week and the academic calendar, and some groups may have an additional session. These small variations are already taken into account in the course fees.

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 make-up session. If it is not possible to reschedule the class, the corresponding amount will be deducted from the next payment, whether monthly or termly.

What level are students expected to reach by the end of the course?

Our aim is for students to reach approximately A2 level by the end of the course, developing the language and skills they need to understand and communicate with greater independence in an increasingly wide range of everyday and familiar situations.

Are the classes entirely in English?

English will be the main language used in the classroom and will be used regularly for explanations, activities and interaction. Other languages may occasionally be used when necessary to clarify specific concepts and support learning.

Are any discounts available?
