At Una Paloma Blanca, we’re committed to nurturing language proficiency through effective communication and practical speaking exercises. Taking inspiration from the Harkness Method, we’ve adopted a ‘speak-up’ approach, where both teachers and students come together around the table to embark on a shared language journey.
The Harkness Method is a dynamic teaching and learning technique that involves students gathered around a spacious, board-style table. It fosters collaborative discussions in a supportive, open-minded environment, placing a strong emphasis on building confidence in communication. This method encourages students to engage with one another in an informal and relaxed setting.
When it comes to acquiring a new language, the Harkness Method proves invaluable in enhancing speaking skills—the cornerstone of effective communication. At UPB, we provide students with ample opportunities to converse, interact, and bolster one another’s language proficiency.
Moreover, our tables serve as versatile spaces for interactive language games and indulging in international cuisine—an enjoyable highlight of our lessons. Ready to embark on your language-learning journey in a relaxed, immersive setting? Explore our courses today:
