SIELE - Servicio International de Evaluación de la Lengua Española.
Will consist of four tests taken on-line at testing centers. At universities? Upon completion of all four tests a certicate is granted. For now most of the test will be in Brasil, EE. UU. and China where most of the millions of students are located. Described as like TOEFL. In EN - http://elpais.com/elpais/2015/07/01/inenglish/1435746068_261 485.html En ES - http://cultura.elpais.com/cultura/2015/07/01/actualidad/1435 724745_571271.html No mention of the classification system. 4 persons have voted this message useful | |

It sounds interesting, but like TOEFL it will probably be more useful for businesses than the
general population since the qualification only lasts 2 years. If you want a permanent certificate, it will still be more useful to do the DELE which has no time limits. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

Thanks for the information!
The links somehow didn't work for me, I found this: http://www.cervantes.es/sobre_instituto_cervantes/prensa/201 5/noticias/siele-presentacion-mexico.htm I really like some parts of the idea. You can choose when to take the exam much more freely (even though the original DELE has still got much more flexibility than the French exams). You will get your results much faster than those of DELE (really, people wait whole three months to get to know whether they passed?), the oral part will be recorded, which should solve a problem some people have been complaining about and which apparently lead to theories about some centers letting people intentionally fail unless they had paid for useless preparatory courses. Some people may welcome the attention paid to all the variants of Spanish. Well, that point isn't so important to me, since I focus on european Spanish anyways, but I suppose it is great news for many others. What I dislike is the limited duration, I totally agree with July on that. 2 persons have voted this message useful |
