The DELE level A2 is here for all Spanish speakers interested in making their language skills official on their CV. It’s an official diploma in Spanish set at the A2 level of the Common European Framework of Reference of Languages, which is to say it is aimed at those students who have experience learning the structure of basic Spanish, going on to be able to express themselves effectively in a selection of contexts.
DELE 2010: recognised by the Spanish MInistery of Education and Science
The Diploma recognises that the candidate is capable of understanding everyday phrases and expressions in fields which are very commonly discussed and very relevant in everyday life (talking about their personal information, their family, shopping, places of interest, work, etc). As well as being an official certificate, adapted to the guidelines of the Common European Framework of Reference of Languages, it has indefinite validity, making it very worthwhile!
Make your Spanish official: DELE 2010
Recognised by private companies, chambers of commerce, and public and private educational systems, career options are multiplied by having this addition to your CV – not only does it show your language capabilities, it also shows that you are the type of person looking to boost your outlook professionally – by studying and taking exams – a great character point!
In 2010, there are three chances to take the exam. One has already passed – in May – but there remains the chances in August and November, and so plenty of time to get studying for it! The inscription for the exam can be taken in the more than 600 centres of Instituto de Cervantes, in over 100 countries in 5 continents.
The AVE online platform - a great resource
Making the task of the exam even easier, Instituto de Cervantes is providing students with the AVE, a website offered in five languages with interactive learning materials, a test to know your Spanish level and information for students, teachers and institutions interested in using the programme. The multimedia activities include videos, films, illustrations, photos, animations, texts and links – all of which capture the cultural essence of Spain, helping the student to not just grasp the language, but to open their eyes to Spanish life too. The virtual platform, as well as these learning tools, also has discussion forums, a chat and e-mail function, allowing students to contact with like-minded individuals from around the world.
So what are you waiting for? The inscription for the November exam is from 1st September to 15th October, giving you more than enough time to study and plan. The exam being on 19th November. There is also – if you are quick! – the August exam, on the 20th, which has its inscription until today – Friday 30th July 2010.
At Mester we offer DELE 2010 preparation courses of 25 classes per week, and recommend three months preparation (though course length vary from one week upwards). The groups are small and the classes deal with grammar, conversation and practice exams, everything you need to know to ensure a pass!
