The Spanish as a Foreign Language Diploma (DELE): what´s new?
The next exam period for the Spanish as a Foreign Language Diploma (DELE) will take place between the 18th and 19th of November.
The changes to the new Level C2 exam will be introduced this year for the first time. It is important to be aware of the following:
The Level C2 exam will consist of three papers:
-Paper 1: Use of language and Reading and Listening comprehension (90 minutes).
-Paper 2: Integrated skills: Reading and Listening comprehension and Written expression and interaction (150 minutes).
-Paper Three Reading comprehension, and Oral expression and interaction (20 minutes, with 30 minutes preparation).
The candidate must pass each of these three papers. They must also demonstrate linguistic competency that will permit them to cope with any situation with complete efficiency, an ability to adapt themselves to any context, and an understanding of idiomatic nuances, as well as natural fluency in all aspects of their performance.
It is important to remember that the exam permits all variations of Spanish, which are considered equally valid to gain the diploma.
