The Language Advisory Service (Servei d'Assessorament Lingüístic, SAL) of the Consell de Formentera is pleased to report that today to 11 October, registration is open for the latest round of Catalan classes for adults. During this first module of the 2022-2023 school year, eleven learning groups will be organised at the A2, B1, B2 and C1 levels to help students prepare for the next round of official Catalan exams, scheduled January 2023.
Raquel Guasch, councillor of language policy, described the aim of SAL as "ensuring our Catalan courses reach as many people as possible. That's why we tailor levels and schedules to the wide demand". Thus, this year classes will be an hour and a half long. As in 2021, learning will take place in the Catalan classrooms of the Espai Cultural de Sant Ferran during two weekly morning or afternoon/evening sessions.
Space is limited and students can only sign up for one group. On conclusion of registration and before the start of classes on 17 and 18 October, students will receive an email confirming successful enrolment in their desired group. Classes are free of charge.
28 September to 11 October
Registration for the courses starts Wednesday 28 September and ends Tuesday 11 October. Aspiring Catalan-language learners can register online through the Virtual Citizen Information Office (Oficina Virtual d'Atenció a la Ciutadania, OVAC) or in person at the Citizen Information Office (Oficina d'Atenció a la Ciutadania, OAC) at Carrer Ramon Llull, 6, Sant Francesc.
During module one, students may be placed in one of four beginners' groups (A2), two B1 groups, three B2 groups and two C1 groups. Information on days and times can be consulted at the time of registration.
