LANGUAGE COURSES AT THE LANGUAGE CENTER
The Language Center offers a new academic offer of language courses.
Our new proposal combines courses by levels, modules and workshops by skills and always online with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). These modalities allow the development of communicative skills – oral and written – in real contexts, linked to the academic and professional environment as well as to everyday life and international projection.
On-demand training and thematic workshops are open to all groups, both from the university community and external.
Through real UPV situations -such as public speaking, preparing presentations, managing and communicating in international professional and academic environments-, participants progressively incorporate the language as a work tool, with a close, applied and results-oriented methodology.
The itinerary of the courses by levels will be 60 hours per term I-II in order to give continuity and complete it progressively. The courses are designed for those who wish to begin or continue learning English, from the first steps to fluent communication. The approach is clear:learn at your own pace, with confidenceand in a guided manner.

Important:
The B2 level for studentsis not provided through level-based courses. This content is transferred to theModules by Skills B2with activities adapted to their academic context.
The modules are aimed atUPV students who need to improve their level of English with a clear focus on employability. These are short, practical and very specific trainings, focused on key skills for the academic and professional world. These modules complement, through language, the linguistic skills needed to perform in interviews, selection processes, international mobility or work environments where English is necessary. They are especially designed for students who need to effectively reinforce their ability to communicate in English.
