INTRODUCTION

DILE Cursos Internacionales de Español is a friendly Spanish language school in the centre of Salamanca, a beautiful university city in Spain. Salamanca is the ideal place to learn Spanish for the perfect Spanish spoken by its inhabitants, its rich cultural, historical and artistic heritage and youthful, cosmopolitan atmosphere.

THE SCHOOL AND ITS TEACHERS

We offer our students high-quality teaching in a comfortable, modern building. The teachers are university graduates with expert teaching skills, friendly and approachable. Our groups are small (maximum 8, average 5 students per group). We have strict quality control and offer a permanent tutorial service to resolve students’ problems and questions at any time. DILE has audiovisual and computer equipment, library and video library.

LEVELS AND TEACHING METHOD

Our courses are divided into 8 levels, and students do a placement test on the first day of the course to place them in the correct level. Our method gives prime importance to acquisition of speaking and listening skills, but all language skills are developed.

DELE PREPARATION

The “Diploma in Spanish as a Foreign Language” is the only official diploma awarded by the Department of Education and recognised by institutions the world over. There are 3 levels: Initial, Intermediate and Superior. Exams take place in May and November, and there is an additional exam in August only in Salamanca. DILE will arrange enrolment for our students.

Our DELE Preparation Course is extremely successful, and includes exam practice techniques covering all the different parts of the exam, including grammar and vocabulary, writing, reading and listening comprehension and simulations for the oral exam.

 

ACCOMMODATION

DILE can arrange accommodation in: host family; student residence; shared student flat; private apartment; hotel; hostel. We recommend host family accommodation as it gives students the opportunity to practise their Spanish with the family outside the classroom and experience the Spanish way of life.

 

ACTIVITIES

Classroom learning is complemented by out-of-class activities such as: cinema seasons; guided tour of Salamanca; parties; “tapas” evenings; weekend excursions, etc. We also provide information for our students about sports, concerts, exhibitions, dance and theatrical performances in the city.
