Aquellos Maravillosos Años - The Wonder Years

Time flies. In October 1985 Hombres G were top of the charts in Spain and inviting us to Venezia. In the UK David Bowie and Mick Jagger noticed that everyone was Dancing in the Street. A few months earlier Pedro Delgado had beaten the Scottish rider Robert Millar to win the Vuelta. A 20-year-old Miguel Indurain had held the yellow jersey for a couple of days at the beginning of the race. Barcelona were the first non-Basque team to win the Liga for four years but only with the help of another Scotsman who scored 15 goals. Spain was the European country with most smokers and mobile phones looked like the one on the left. People learning English in Spain were taught to say: be, was, been, do, did, done, drive, drove, driven but little else except maybe “My tailor is rich”.

Then McDonnell opened Manuel Iradier and started encouraging students to learn English through a communicative method, using role plays, dialogues, interviews and realistic listening exercises. Helping people to feel confident and use the practical vocabulary and structures they had learned.

Nowadays, Venice is sinking, Mick Jagger is a pensioner, Robert Millar is a woman called Philippa and no living Scottish player is good enough to play for Barcelona. Young people in Vitoria are more likely to be listening to El tol sarmiento or Pharrel Williams. Spain has dropped to 19^th in the World ranking of the most smokers and mobile phones have got a lot smaller.

 However during all this time McDonnell has kept the same philosophy. We have more modern materials and our teachers are better trained but the idea is still the same – to help you to learn to speak more fluently, confidently and to motivate you to keep on learning and improving.
