The methodology developed by Alvarez & Borges  Language  School  throughout all these years of successful permanence in the market has resulted in an excellent combination of grammar and communicative contents. This way, the student acquires the tools needed to express himself correctly in the communicative situations corresponding to each level

The system of initial evaluation and the constant supervision of each student assures the adjustment of the course to the needs of each of the students of our schools. Furthermore, the small groups allow a maximum attention to the difficulties as well as the progress of each one of the members.

In the classes, grammar contents are introduced and put into practice through listening comprehension and role play,  as well as written exercises. Thus, starting off with the correct use of the language, the student will be able to actively participate speaking and listening outside the school. We consider that the understanding of the grammar is an essential tool, that enables the student to express himself correctly, according to his level.
 

Alvarez & Borges  Language  School is one of the first schools of Spanish for foreigners in Argentina and has a permanent staff of professors with a high level of specialization and a maximum degree of coordination. Also, the teaching staff is constantly supervised by a pedagogical coordinator. This allows the educational system of Alvarez & Borges  Language  School  to offer a solid internal structure that accompanies the learning process of students of all levels.
 

Alvarez & Borges  Language  Schools  count on own material, designed so that the student develops progressive understanding of the Spanish grammar and its uses in the speech. From the first classes the student will already count on correct grammar knowledge to present himself, to request and to give information, to make purchases, reservations, etc.
 

Alvarez  & Borges   Language  Schools  has established different levels (see detailed information) taking into account the grammar contents that each student can learn appropriately, and according to his initial level, in the hours considered for each level.
Only a long trajectory in the education of the Spanish language in Argentina can allow a structure of this kind, assuring our students a successful and solid learning of the language.

Although from the first levels informative material is used for the student to gain a progressive understanding of the cultural context, it is from the intermediate level I that journalistic or historical texts, as well as those concerning the way of life in our country, are included as a daily activity. This way the vocabulary is extended, linguistic interchanges between the students are generated and cultural and historical contents are deepened. Also, the cultural activities suggested by the school are offered with the purpose of assisting the student to acquire an integral understanding of the Argentine social cultural development.

In levels intermediate III and advanced I and II, the students participate in more formal communicative situations, in which, as it is done when studying history and literature, they have interviews, take notes during lectures, expose a subject to their classmates, work with audio and video material of different degrees of complexity and of thematic diversity.
The material used for advanced levels is selected from what is of current use for a native Argentinian with a university degree or superior education.
