The Spanish as a Foreign Language program (ELE, or Español como Lengua Extranjera) at Universidad de los Andes aims to develop and consolidate learners' communicative skills so they are able to use Spanish effectively in personal, professional and academic situations. Courses are offered three times a year: regular semester-length courses are offered from January to May and August to November, while intensive summer courses are offered in July (básico, intermedio, avanzado). The ELE program is divided into four levels for a regular semester: Español Lengua Extranjera 1, 2, 3, and 4. Besides tasks based on communicative grammar and speaking, reading, writing, and listening exercises, program coursework involves critically reflecting on social and cultural practices in Colombia and other Latin American countries.
