Join our immersive course designed to boost your professional development while connecting with educators worldwide. We have been teaching Spanish at FU International Academy Tenerife since 2000, and since 2005 the school has been accredited by Instituto Cervantes — the main Spanish language institution in Spain. That same depth of experience now shapes every aspect of this programme.
The course is tailored to where you are in your teaching journey:
By joining us, you’ll get a firsthand look at the teaching and learning environment we’ve spent over two decades refining — one that blends innovative techniques with time-tested methodologies. Our teachers are native speakers with university degrees in Teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language (ELE), and they bring genuine passion to every session.
This dynamic course combines theory and hands-on experience, fostering reflection on your own educational journey and the exchange of ideas with like-minded professionals. And beyond the classroom, Tenerife is waiting — a beautiful and vibrant destination where culture, nature, and authentic Spanish life come together to make your learning experience truly unforgettable.
Our course for teachers of Spanish as a foreign language combines the application of innovative approaches and methods in second language teaching. It is supported by the Erasmus+ Programme. Here is how it works:
Contextualize the real use of the language in the classroom with games that make learning fun, allow us to practice the language and keep our students motivated
