AVE Global Courses at CIAM

Description
AVE Global are the Instituto Cervantes online Spanish courses, developed according to the levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), ranging from level A1 to C1. AVE stands for virtual Spanish class (Aula Virtual de Español in Spanish). In the AVE Global platform you can do:
- General Spanish courses: The platform offers 16 courses. In each of them, students can find educational materials, videos and interactive exercisesto work independently. With them, students can learn Spanish whenever and wherever they wants, through a computer or mobile devices.
- DELE preparation courses: AVE Global has two preparation courses for DELE, the Diplomas of Spanish as a foreign language (DELE in Spanish), one for level A2 and another for level B1. In them, work material is organized in three modules:
- Before doing the exam: activities to learn about the DELE exam and its structure.
- Exam tests: practice activities, organized according to the DELE exam tests. The oral expression and interaction test consists of activities with videos of real candidates that provide an exact image of the development of the tasks.
- Practice a test: do a real test with solutions.
Thanks to a sealed agreement with the Instituto Cervantes, CIAM enables its students to use the AVE Global materials in different ways:
- AVE Global with CIAM, tutor modality (levels A1-C1). The student works independently on the AVE platform, before and after the sessions they have with a CIAM tutor via videoconference. The tutor reviews the student’s work, introduces new content, proposes tasks and activities to use Spanish in a contextualized way, and schedules the student’s work until the next videoconference.
- AVE Global with CIAM, autonomous modality (levels A1-C1). The student works independently on the AVE platform, without the support of a tutor.
- AVE Global for DELE preparation with CIAM, autonomous modality (levels A2 and B1). The student works independently on the AVE platform, without the support of a tutor.
