Corporate Classes

Workplace Spanish Training

 

Hablespana has years of experience creating custom-made corporate programs and can provide the Spanish training that you need through our Workplace Spanish Training. The Program features corporate Spanish classes tailored to the specific needs of your company and employees, including management and human resources, technical vocabulary, and other areas which we determine through a needs analysis done with the aid and direction of your Human Resources department or management team.

 

Workplace classes are geared to benefit those employees who need to communicate with your Spanish-speaking workforce and the program is designed so that actual work situations encountered on the job become part of the classroom. 

 

Students may work on basic communication skills, including day-to-day conversation with co-workers.  All levels can have the dual focus on work-related Spanish Skills and general survival Spanish skills.

 

Before classes begin, participants will be evaluated and placed in groups according to their skill level. Both supervisors and students will be asked for input as to the needs of the students (explained as a needs analysis above) so that these can be met in the design of the course. 

 

At the end of the course, supervisors will receive a written evaluation of their employees' progress. The course can be designed to improve any or all Spanish skill areas: reading, writing, listening, speaking and grammar. 

 

Our teaching methodology is very communicative in its approach, emphasizing oral communication over other skill areas. Other primary skill areas are listening and writing, though those are done as an addendum to an oral communication exercise. Most written work will be completed at home and integrated into the lessons on the following day. Students can expect to do a few hours of homework a week, both reading, writing and reviewing concepts covered in the class.

 

Unless otherwise indicated by the management team or supervisors at the time of the needs analysis, most companies are usually concerned with oral communication of its employees. In addition to traditional teaching methods, students learn through the use of cassettes, videos, role-plays and games.
