The official exams of the Cervantes Institute      
 
   
The use of the Spanish language is growing and it is becoming increasingly important to have an official, internationally recognised diploma. Whether you work or are a student, the value of knowing the Spanish language cannot be underestimated. We have developed this course to prepare students to take the D.E.L.E. exams. There are two exam sessions per year: one in November and and the other in May.    
       
             
Preparation courses for the D.E.L.E. (Diploma de español como lengua extranjera) exams

As there are two sessions a year, The Lewis School offers 2 possible starting dates for these courses: 11th March 2002 and 16th September 2002.

Each course consists of 8 weeks of classes, 20 hours a week, from Monday to Friday. Nevertheless, depending on your level of Spanish, the duration of the course can be flexible. The normal timetable is from 9.30 a.m.to 2.00 p.m.but afternoon classes are also available. There is a 30 minute break during the classes when you can have a coffee, chat to your classmates, use the internet or simply sit in the sun in our garden. This course includes an activity programme organised by the school. You can participate freely in this programme in the mornings, afternoons and at weekends.

 
             

If you would like to do the exam but do not want to enrol in one of our D.E.L.E.courses you can choose another kind of course (private classes, an extensive course, etc.) to suit the exam you'll be doing.

The school will assist you with the enrolment procedure and inform you of exam fees and dates.

These courses are intended for young people between the ages of 8 and 18 who want to come in a group along with their school teachers.  
       
     
  A typical school group would stay with Spanish host families to encourage them to practice Spanish and learn about Spanish culture. We organise a programme of free time activities exclusively for them. We arrange for them to meet up with our Spanish students of the same age and participate in a cultural exchange with them - usually, before they arrive in Barcelona they have exchanged letters and e-mails.    
       
         
In collaboration with the teachers, we design a tailor-made course to suit the needs and interests of each school and its pupils. The courses can start at any time of year and usually range from 3 days to 8 weeks.  
         
Example of a special programme for adolescent groups: *
  • Day 1: Arrival at the airport, tour of Barcelona. Families collect the students.
  • Day 2: Orientation session. Welcome party with our Spanish students of the same age.
  • Day3: Trip to Figueres to visit the Dalí Museum.
  • Day 4: Spanish class. Trip round the emblematic Gaudí buildings.(Sagrada Familia, Parque Güell). Tapas.
  • Day 5: Spanish class. Visit to the Barcelona F.C. Museum.
  • Day 6: Trip to Port Aventura.
