University Spanish Courses for Chinese Speakers
Overview
University courses associated with the unofficial university-specific degrees enable the student to attain specific, predetermined morphosyntactic structures corresponding to the selected level. This in turn will facilitate learning in accordance with the Common European Framework of Reference.
Methodology
The courses are developed according to the methodology of online language teaching. This methodology is based on the acquisition of European language skills - the internationally recognized Common European Framework of Reference for Languages - and the Madrid Open University (MOU) educational system, where the student actively uses Information Technology and Communications, receives personalized teaching and acquires the necessary digital competency for up-to-date professional development.
At the MOU Language Institute, the Spanish University courses are taught by university professors specially qualified in teaching languages and in teaching methods based on Information Technology and Communications, with one of the main objectives being making learning a language a fun and enjoyable experience.
Aimed at
The leitmotiv of the Spanish University Courses, “speaking Spanish is not an option, it's a necessity”, allows this training proposal to be available to the public in general, so that they can be qualified to interact with confidence on a personal and professional level.
Admission requirements
Spanish citizens and foreigners who are at least 18 years old or who will be 18 by the start of the academic course, qualify to register at the MOU Language Institute. No academic achievements are required to participate in the Spanish University Course. Students may register for the course they deem most appropriate considering their actual knowledge of the language. A test will be given to establish the corresponding level for the course.
Students with a MOU internal certification of lower grade completion or those who register for the beginner level A1 as well as those who present a language equivalence accreditation will be exempt from taking the test (see the Equivalences subheading).
