Flamingo Spanish School

Flamingo Coworking is the tropical Hub at the Carribean Coast.  With shared offices, meeting rooms, best internet connection in Santa Marta, and large communal areas specially designed for professionals on the move, a Spanish School is a perfect fit!   

Vision

We want to be the best alternative for learning spanish in Santa Marta. To provide a good atmosphere for learning, studying, but also for meeting and mingling with new friends

Academic approach

The academic approach is based on the principles of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT). Communicative Language Teaching is an approach to teaching of foreign languages that emphasizes interaction as both the means and the ultimate goal of learning a language.

CLT focuses on the following competence objectives:

• Linguistic competence (knowledge of grammar and vocabulary)
• Sociolinguistic competence (ability to say the appropriate thing in a social situation)
• Discourse competence (ability to start, enter, contribute to, or end a conversation)
• Strategic competence (ability to communicate effectively and repair problems in communication)

CLT methodologies have in common the fact that they are based on activities that require exchanging information and solving problems, communication activities with “real-world” situations, and by taking into account the learner’s background, needs and goals.
