foto 2020 cursos catala 2The Formentera Language Advisory Service reports that 225 islanders have signed up to take part in Catalan-language courses that began this week.

During a ten-day period of early enrolment that started 15 September, 225 requests came in from islanders wishing to follow language courses at the A2, B1, B2 or C1/C2 levels.

This year to ensure compliance with capacity limitations, morning classes will be split between the Escola d’Adults and Centre d’Esports Nàutics, opposite S’Estany des Peix in La Savina. As in previous years, afternoon and evening groups will meet in three classrooms of IES Marc Ferrer, the island’s secondary school.

All students and teachers must respect sanitary protocol, including but not limited to mandatory masks whilst in class, hand-washing with hand sanitiser upon entry and social distancing. Lessons will run 45 minutes with breaks after class used to air out rooms and disinfect furniture.

The courses are designed to help students prepare for the Balearic Office of Language Policy’s September 2021 round of official exams.
