José Pascual Marco y Catherine McKinnell discussed potential collaboration aimed at improving the quality of the Spanish language for students across the UK. The main focus of the discussion was to explore ways to ensure British students receive the best possible education in Spanish, guided by native Spanish-speaking teachers.
The initiative comes in response to a growing demand for high-quality Spanish teaching programmes in the UK, that can offer authentic cultural and linguistic experiences. Both the Ambassador and the Minister emphasized the importance of bringing native speakers into the classroom to provide students with a truly immersive learning experience, fostering not only language proficiency but also a deeper cultural understanding.
