2011 is going to be a very special year for all of us here at Cervantes E.I. as we will be celebrating our 25th birthday. Since the school was first established in 1986, thousands of students have come through our doors to get acquainted with the Spanish Language and Culture or to improve their knowledge. We would like to take this opportunity to thank every one of them for having chosen Cervantes E.I. as their school and for sharing their time, experience and laughter with us.  During these 25 years we have also established many partnerships with agents and colleagues from all over the world, without whose help, trust, and shared knowledge we couldn't have made it this far. We are very grateful to all of you for your hard work and cooperation and we hope that we can continue working together for at least another 25 years! In order to celebrate this very special Anniversary and to make sure that we stay at the forefront of Spanish Language Teaching, there are some events and c

At Cervantes E.I. we are very happy to announce that, from January 2011, we will be operating from our new premises at: Avenida Juan Sebastián Elcano, 89 29017 Málaga Spain As some of you may have noticed, the address is very similar to our previous one, and that is because our new school is less than 200 metres away from our old premises . We are located in the same street as before, so students can still enjoy all the  great facilities that the Pedregalejo area offers: loads of bars, restaurants and cafes, a great beach only one street away from the school, sports facilities, and all the necessary amenities (supermarkets, banks, pharmacies, etc.). The new facilities consist of: Fully refurbished school building. All classrooms equipped with air conditioning and heating Computers for student use Library with over 400 titles Large Andalusian patio with plants and seating area for students Additional terrace space for student use Free Wi-Fi for students Digital Interactive Boa

As part of our 25 th anniversary celebrations, Cervantes E.I. is introducing the use of digital interactive boards in the school. Looking back at our 25 years of history we can see many changes, from tape to CD, from CD, to DVD and now, from blackboard to digital board. We believe that our students deserve only the best and therefore we are introducing this new digital tool that will help us stay in touch with the latest materials and developments and to make our lessons more fun and interactive. These digital interactive boards will allow us to integrate multimedia content into our lessons very easily, and to use real life material from the internet, articles, audio files, video files, presentations, etc.  This will not only help students connect their newly aquired knowledge with real life examples, but will also allow them to acquire new concepts more easily with the support of different types of learning stimulus. From January 2011, most of the classrooms  at our new school build

At Cervantes E.I. we believe that learning a language is not only about grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation. A language is also the means of expression of a certain culture and society and all their values and customs. Therefore, as part of our special 2011 events , we will offer a series of different Cultural Workshops in the afternoon  throughout the year (except in July and August).  These workshops will focus on different prominent figures of the Spanish and Latin American culture, and on issues related to history and the arts.   Each workshop will consist of 4 sessions in one week (45 minutes   per session) and their titles are: -           Short stories workshop:   Stories that makes us think -           1939-1975, 36 years under the rule of Franco -           Holding hands with Neruda -           Avant Garde and innovation: The Generation of ‘27 -           Life, Death and Passion: Federico García Lorca -           Art and Provocation: Almodovar -           Decadence, traditio
