Our courses

At Instituto Cervantes Kuala Lumpur, our courses are offered in four terms per year, each of them lasting approximately 10 weeks (allowing for public holidays or occasional breaks due to special circumstances such as the DELE examinations): October, January, April, and July.

In addition to these regular terms, we also offer private lessons and small-group courses, which can start at any time of the year, subject to availability and prior consultation.

Levels

Our Spanish courses are offered across six proficiency levels, from A1 to C2, divided into 30-hour modules. These levels follow the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). The CEFR provides a common basis for describing language proficiency, promoting greater consistency and transparency in foreign language learning across Europe. It facilitates learner mobility, supports the mutual recognition of language qualifications, and encourages cooperation between educational institutions in different countries. The CEFR defines proficiency levels that describe learners' communicative competence, productive and receptive language skills, and their ability to use the language effectively for a range of specific purposes.

To enrol in A1.1 courses, no previous knowledge of Spanish is required. For all other levels, students must either be returning students or take a placement test to determine their appropriate level.

They can introduce themselves and others, as well as ask for and provide basic personal information about their home, belongings, and the people they know. They can interact in a simple way, provided that their conversation partner speaks slowly and clearly and is willing to cooperate in the interatcion. Classes at this level are taught in Spanish, with active use of English being very limited. At Instituto Cervantes Kuala Lumpur, A1 level consists of 90 hours and is divided into three 30-hour modules: A1.1, A1.2, and A1.3.

Waystage

At this level, students are able to understand frequently used sentences and expressions related to areas of personal relevance (basic information about themselves and their family, shopping, places of interest, occupations, etc.). They can communicate when carrying out simple, routine tasks that require only a straightforward exchange of information on familiar or everyday matters. They can describe aspects of their past and their surroundings in simple terms, as well as discuss matters related to their immediate needs. At Instituto Cervantes Kuala Lumpur, A2 consists of 120 hours and is divided into four 30-hour modules: A2.1, A2.2, A2.3, and A2.4.

Threshold

At this level, students are able to understand the main points of clear, standard-language texts dealing with familiar topics, whether related to work, study, or leisure. They can handle most situations that may arise while travelling in areas where the language is spoken. They are able to produce simple, coherent texts on familiar topics or subjects of personal interest. They can describe experiences and events, express wishes and aspirations, and briefly justify their opinions or explain their plans. At Instituto Cervantes Kuala Lumpur, B1 consists of 150 hours and is divided into five 30-hour modules: B1.1, B1.2, B1.3, B1.4, and B1.5.

Vantage

At this level, students are able to understand the main ideas of complex texts dealing with both concrete and abstract topics, including technical texts within their own field of expertise. They can interact with native speakers with a degree of fluency and spontaneity that allows communication to take place without strain for either party. They can produce clear, detailed texts on a wide range of subjects and defend a point of view on general topics, explaining the advantages and disadvantages of different options. At our centre, B2 consists of 180 hours and is divided into six 30-hour modules: B2.1, B2.2, B2.3, B2.4, B2.5, and B2.6.

Effective Operational Proficency

At this level, students are able to understand a wide range of long, demanding texts and recognise implicit meanings. They can express themselves fluently and spontaneously, with little obvious effort to find the right expressions. They can use the language flexibly and effectively for social, academic, and professional purposes. They can produce clear, well-structured, and detailed texts on complex topics, demonstrating effective use of organisational patterns, connectors, and cohesive devices. At present, Instituto Cervantes Kuala Lumpur does not offer regular courses at this level, as there is not sufficient demand. However, please, do not hesitate to contact us if you are interested in courses at these levels.

Mastery

At this level, students are able to understand any type of spoken language with ease and express themselves fluently, conveying subtle shades of meaning with precision. They learn to use idioms, fixed expressions, and colloquial language naturally in speech. They are able to write clear and fluent texts in an appropriate style, as well as read virtually all forms of written language with ease. At present, Instituto Cervantes Kuala Lumpur does not offer regular courses at this level, as there is not sufficient demand. However, please, do not hesitate to contact us if you are interested in courses at these levels.
