Why EEA?
Español en Andalucía, EEA, the Andalusian Association of Schools of Spanish as a foreign language, represents accredited Private Institutions for Teaching the Spanish Language, which offer a wide range of Spanish courses in most attractive places of Andalusia. The main goal of EEA is to guarantee the Quality of Teaching. All the member schools of EEA have agreed to run based on the principles stated in the association’s 'Letter of Quality' which, in turn, was written based on the norms established by FEDELE (Spanish Federation of Schools of Spanish for Foreigners) and by ELITE (European Federation of National Associations for the teaching of the Native Language to Foreign Students). EEA is founding member of both federations. What’s more, all the member schools of EEA have received the Quality Certificate for the Teaching of Spanish as a Foreign Language (CEELE), given by the University of Alcalá de Henares or the Accreditation Certificate from the Cervantes Institute and periodically they must all pass inspection of their teaching methods to guarantee that the teaching offered by the EEA centres meets with the highest standards. In EEA, the student will find a wide range of courses, from general language courses to specific courses of professional, all adapted to the age and the level of the pupils knowledge. In this way, children, young people, qualified professional and university students can all find what they’re looking for in EEA schools. EEA Schools have a complementary activities program for their students, which make their stay even more exiting. The EEA collaborates with the Chambers of Commerce of Andalusian capital cities, thus giving EEA center students the opportunity to participate in the official commerce exams. It is also one of the main objectives of EEA to maintain a constant dialogue with the Cervantes Institute and other institutions dedicated to the teaching of Spanish language in order to design the academic programs. All of the point we have referred to, along with the conviction that Andalusia´s exceptional beauty, and its centuries of history and culture are outstanding allies for our work, and constitute the spirit of our Association.
