For those who would like to accredit their knowledge of Spanish with an official qualification from the Ministry of Edication and Science (D.E.L.E.)
Since 1994, 98% of the students trained by CastiLa successfully passed their exams.
The main goal of this course is to prepare students so that they would be able to show their Spanish competence in the 6 DELE levels: A1 – A2 – B1 – B2 – C1 – C2.
The exam consists of five parts testing student’s competence in:
Reading Comprehension,
Listening Comprehension,
Oral Expression,
Written Expression,
Grammar and Vocabulary
So there is another goal: to improve the four communication skills and knowledge/usage of grammar and vocabulary aimed to pass the exam.
METHODOLOGY
To achieve these goals, the course consists of general activities (4 lessons/day) as in the Intensive Language Courses, and one extra hour dedicated to working with real exam materials (from previous exams) or material elaborated in the same format as the exam, so that the students get familiar with test patterns as well as system of evaluation.
Even though many of the activities could coincide with the Intensive Language courses’ program, all of them are aimed to special needs of every student with the attention to the main goal: to pass the exam.
The course makes up the theoretical information –elaborated from the most advanced perspective of linguistic studies– with practical exercises and the continual participation of the student.
Communicative activities in order to improve the four language skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing. Rotation of teachers: teachers change every class.
