The Language Program offers the possibility of combining weekly, monthly and annual tennis programs with Spanish or English as a Foreign Language (EFL) courses at the same location as the Academia Sánchez-Casal.
The language program is perfectly designed for athletes wishing to train in their favourite sport at the Academy while learning Spanish or English. We involve students in a process of linguistic communication and intensive practice of the four basic elements of language education: oral, comprehension, written and reading proficiency.
With a total of ten hours per week, the language courses are given in the afternoons, Monday to Friday, making them totally compatible with sport training at the Sánchez-Casal Academy. Classes can start every Monday.
Beginner students DO NOT need to take this placement test. If the student is NOT a beginner in the desired language, please have him/her do this short level test. The purpose is to determine the suitable class level. Therefore, the student should not have any outside help with the test because he/she will then be placed in a level not suitable to his/her ability. The test must be done in less than 45 minutes. Print the test and once it is completed fax it to +34-93-479-1622 or scan it and email it to adminschiller@sanchez-casal.com
