Welcome to the Spanish Teacher Training Department

About the Teacher Training Department

The training department for teachers of Spanish as a foreign language, or ELE as it is known in Spanish, has existed at IH Barcelona (one of Europe's leading centres for training English language teachers) since 1983.

Since then we have run professional development programs for more than 1,000 Spanish teachers now teaching in private and public schools and institutions around the world.

Of particular interest to non-native Spanish teachers, we offer special culture and methodology courses.

We also run an annual "Encuentro práctico" conference in Barcelona, now in its nineteenth year, which has had a sister edition in Würzburg (Germany) since 2004, with this year also seeing the first edition of Encuentro Práctico Poland.
