This October, the director and the academic coordinator of Hablamos attended, in Alicante, the III Semana del Español organised by FEDELE.
This was a great opportunity for the school to meet other federated centres, international agents and teachers from all over the world. An enriching experience that we would like to share with you as a very important milestone in our path of teaching Spanish as a foreign language.
FEDELE Español en España
FEDELE Español en España, is the Spanish Federation of Associations of Spanish Schools for Foreigners. This federation is made up of six associations that bring together more than a hundred schools of Spanish as a Foreign Language.
Hablamos became a member of FEDELE Comunidad de Madrid in May 2024 as part of our commitment to offering quality teaching. This has allowed us to participate in the III Semana del Español together with many other schools from all over Spain with a common objective, the common goal that all students who come to Spain to improve their level of Spanish do so in an accredited centre offering a quality linguistic and cultural immersion experience.
III Semana del Español, Alicante 2024
During the III Semana del Español, the Hablamos team met with various teachers responsible for the Spanish language area in international centres, language and tourism agents and management from schools and universities from all over the world.
By participating in several round tables to analyse the issue of language tourism, talking to representatives of numerous international institutions and attending workshops and conferences on the teaching of Spanish as a foreign language, Hablamos was able to strengthen strategic alliances with educational and cultural institutions, explore new opportunities for exchange and collaboration programmes, and enrich its teaching methodologies with innovative approaches to the teaching of Spanish as a foreign language.
The participation in the III Semana del Español has allowed the school to become a reference in the teaching of Spanish as a foreign language, joining the network of the most sought-after federated schools in the Community of Madrid.
Planning the future
Hablamos is aware that language tourism is a point to be taken into account in the future and we are working to offer our students a complete experience together with our courses. From now on we are working to build bridges with international agents and teachers with the main objective of promoting the learning of the Spanish language and its culture at an international level.
‘It has been an honour to have participated in this III Semana del Español. Its conferences have helped us to know first hand the needs of our future students and our participation has made Hablamos enter the panorama of Spanish language schools for foreigners in Madrid’ Julio Colmenero, Director of Hablamos.
‘From now on we can work on designing study programmes that are closer to international students and that attract all those who are interested in a comprehensive Spanish language and culture learning experience at our school in Madrid’ Begoña González Afuera, Academic Coordinator of Hablamos.
