About the methodology
Intercultural approach, where teaching/learning the language involves not just one, but two cultures: the native culture and the target culture, thus observing the differences and similarities between them. This type of approach aims to enable the student to develop intercultural communicative competence, which goes beyond linguistic knowledge, combining language teaching with intercultural aspects in an optimized way. The chosen topics promote dynamic and meaningful conversation, and the use of authentic materials provides an even more enriching learning experience.
