Fenix
Language Institute was founded in 1973 with a firm commitment
to perfecting strategies for the teaching of Spanish as a
second language. Until then, the traditional method had stressed
grammar model imitation, mechanical repetition exercises,
and rigorous memorization. The results were not impressive.
The founders of Fenix rejected these ideas and searched for
a better, more natural,approach.
As a child, you acquire your native language by listening
to its use, trying out new uses, and gradually attaining fluency.
Fenix believes that this method is also applicable to the
learning of a second language, a belief strongly backed by
a considerable amount of research in the field of second language
acquisition. Inside the Fenix classroom, we help students
to listen, understand, and then express new concepts in the
language. |
