Teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language to Immigrants in Continuing Education in Granada

Abstract

State Continuing Education Centers strive to provide adults with the opportunity to re-enter the educative system by offering lifelong learning programs. Immigrants can be initially enrolled in the program "Spanish as a Foreign Language", as an intermediate step towards other courses that lead them to obtain other credentials. Teachers and students have online and free access to instructional units, which are adapted to the students' goals and interests. They don't get an official certificate of their level at the end of this program, but they are offered the opportunity to take a test at an Official Language School to obtain such a certificate.
