Pre-sessional Spanish Language Course (CPUE)
Tailor-made programme addressed to international students who want to access Spanish universities. The objective of the course is for students to reach the linguistic skills required for undergraduate or master's studies in Spain. Possibility to choose the course contents, calendar and total number of hours.
General Spanish classes can be combined with:
• Spanish for business
• Spanish for specific purposes
• DELE exam preparation (B1, B2 or C1)
Methodology
Our language teaching method is based on a communicative approach and error correction, so our students can put into practice what they have learned in the language classroom and linguistic spaces. For this reason, the four language skills are developed: oral interaction, written expression, reading comprehension and listening.
Online learning platform
Our courses are housed on a Learning Management System, designed to foster learning outside the classroom. The system allows students to download documents, hand in assignments, contact the teacher and take tests to check their learning progress.
Assessment
Every month there will be a progress test to check if the level has been assimilated. The tests may include: use of the language (grammar and vocabulary), reading and writing comprehension, oral production and writing tasks.
Certification
• Course certificate
• Optional DELE/SIELE exam
Free level test
Our teaching team will advise you on the most suitable course according to the students level.
