Our methodology
Communicative Methodology at Versa
At Versa, we believe that learning a language goes beyond memorizing grammar rules and vocabulary: it is a tool for connecting and communicating with the world. That’s why we use a Communicative Methodology, focused on getting students to use Spanish in practical, real-life situations from day one.
What is Communicative Methodology?
The Communicative Methodology focuses on developing students’ communicative competence. This means they will learn not just the language, but also how to use it in everyday situations, interact with others, and solve problems in real-world contexts. In our classes, students are the main actors, and learning is active, participatory, and collaborative.
Focus on Real-Life Situations
In every lesson, we work with scenarios and contexts students might encounter in daily life, such as ordering at a restaurant, resolving doubts in a store, or having an informal conversation. Through dialogues, simulations, and role-plays, our students practice Spanish in authentic settings, helping them gain confidence and fluency in communication.
Active Participation and Teamwork
We know the best way to learn a language is by using it. That’s why we encourage constant interaction among students through pair and group activities, giving everyone the opportunity to express themselves and participate. In our classes, students learn not only from their teachers but also from their peers, in a supportive and collaborative environment.
Constant Correction and Feedback
At Versa, we prioritize fluency and effective communication. Our teachers provide continuous feedback and help students correct mistakes without interrupting the flow of conversation. This creates a relaxed environment where students can learn from their own errors, progress naturally, and feel confident when speaking.
Use of Authentic Materials
To make learning real and relevant, we use authentic materials such as news articles, videos, texts, and audio that reflect contemporary Spanish. These resources allow students to experience the language as it is used in daily life and gain direct insight into Hispanic culture.
