SAIIE implements the same structure to teach Spanish as a foreign language (ELE), as the one required by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). SAIIE has adapted this framework over the years to meet the requirements of the American university system. Our entire Spanish department consists of native Spanish degree holders, who have the appropriate certification to teach Spanish as a foreign language (ELE) under the EU teaching framework.
Our team has over 30 years of experience teaching American College Undergraduates and guiding their personal and professional development. We believe in the combination of in-class academics and experiential learning opportunities, which intends to engage students at all times. The city of Seville, the classes, excursions, homestay, intercambios, volunteering opportunities, internship programs, and sports programs are all opportunities open to the SAIIE students for their benefit and development.
