AVE - AULA VIRTUAL DE ESPAÑOL
The Instituto Cervantes, in its Spanish Virtual Classroom (AVE), offers courses for learning the language while taking advantage of the possibilities provided by the Internet.
With a teaching system which is open, fast and economical, students have access to real materials and establish contact with other users. The AVE is already a reference point for the teaching of languages on the Internet.
AVE students are free to choose the time, pace and place of study.
There are four levels
- Beginner (Levels A1 and A2),
- Intermediate (Level B1,B2) DELE INICIAL
- Advanced (Level C1) DELE INTERMEDIO
- Superior (Level C2) DELE SUPERIOR
• Each level corresponds to around 120-160 hours of work and contains between 1,500 to 2,000 screens and 36 videos.
• All levels are divided into four courses with three lessons and a series of supplementary materials.
• In each lesson there are nine work sessions, an end-oflesson task which is corrected by the tutor, an automatic assessment test and an interactive graphic story.
Students who successfully finish any of the courses receive the corresponding certificate. Furthermore, if they are interested in the official diploma recognizing their knowledge level, they can sit the examinations for the Diploma in Spanish as a Foreign Language (DELE).
