OISE Madrid

OISE distinguishes itself by being the only language training organisation to specialise exclusively in the provision of intensive courses. All participants are immersed in an environment conducive to serious, concentrated study. OISE students share the same aims and the same commitment to learning. Furthermore, since OISE only teaches a language in the country where it is spoken, the participant is obliged to speak, listen to, read and write the language all day long. This powerful combination of structured learning within the school and spontaneous language acquisition outside ensures that the participant achieves his or her language learning ambition. Course participants are mostly company personnel sponsored by their firm and success-hungry university or pre-university students. Both have a strong vested interest in achieving a significant improvement in language fluency for career purposes or exam success. Their choice is based on OISE’s long record of focusing on pedagogically challenging lessons which are designed to develop fast and instinctively accurate reactions leading to fluency. Results-driven language coaching: OISE’s objective is to help its students succeed. Every aspect of the programme has therefore been structured to meet this focused objective. Helpful, experienced course advisors Our team of course advisors will help you choose the programme which is right for you. If you are not sure which course is suitable, OISE will construct a personalised profile to suit your needs. Individual attention Classes are structured to maximise the contact time between teacher and student. OISE is committed to its policy of teaching in small groups (1:1 or 1:4 per class) to ensure that students benefit from individual attention even within a group environment. Friendly, dynamic team All OISE teaching staff are highly qualified native-speakers. Their energy and enthusiasm is shared by the school's nonteaching staff. Our friendly, dynamic team is committed to making your stay as successful and enjoyable as possible. Courses for all levels Whether you wish to study for professional, academic or practical purposes, OISE has a course for you. We have programmes to suit all levels from absolute beginner to professional linguist. As an OISE student, you will be tested on arrival and allocated a class and tutor appropriate to your level.

Madrid is an elegant capital city, celebrated for its wide, spacious avenues and beautiful parks, its gourmet restaurants and world famous museums. The city's atmosphere is fun-loving and vibrant, largely a result of the laid back attitude of its nhabitants. Exciting, surprising, exhilarating Madrid enjoys a blend of the traditional and the contemporary, preserving the refinement and splendour of the past whilst still embracing the pace and dynamism of modern life. Shopping in Madrid is a relaxing and leisurely experience when taken at Madrileño pace, with many shops open until late in the evening. Discover the delights of the designer boutiques with their sparkling window displays and mingle with Madrid's glamourous glitterati on the Calle Serrano, or explore the curious flea markets of the Rastro for an antique bargain. The formal gardens of the Parque del Retiro offer an oasis of sophisticated calm amid the heat and activity of the city. The green spaces, fountains and wide gravel paths are a favourite spot for both locals and visitors in any season of the year. The Museo del Prado, one of the world’s greatest art galleries, can be found close by.

All courses are full day. Prices range from €895 to €1.975 per week including accomodation.
