ESCUELA OFICIAL DE IDIOMAS (EOI) DE FUENLABRADA – MADRID

We are a state-run language school that provides adults and young adults living and/or working in the area with opportunities for learning four modern languages – English, French, German and/or Chinese. Our course offer ranges levels A1 to C2 of the Common European Framework for Languages. In addition, citizens in need of a nation-wide validated language certification can register to take our official tests. On successful completion of these, a certification is awarded, which can then be used as an additional qualification career-wise or in academia.

Our school is in Fuenlabrada, a town only 17 kilometres South East of the City of Madrid, well connected by train, subway and buses. Fuenlabrada has a population of around 200.000 people and a university campus.

Within our mid-term strategy and plans to get closer to Europe and the EU, we would like to create links and collaborate with similar schools and/or organisations with a focus on how to benefit from mutually sharing knowledge and understanding of innovative educational and learning experiences as well as promoting inclusion. Our focus is on implementing best practices for the removal of barriers and on developing inclusive school policies,  innovative teaching methods and active methodologies and strategies for teaching diverse learners.

Our staff is highly qualified and very committed to learning new methodologies and to continuous development, receiving regular training from the Community of Madrid on a variety of topics such as digital competence, active learning methods or AI, to name but a few. The school has recently developed two projects of educational innovation centred on the development of communicative competence in foreign languages and the use of technological devices and digital methods, particularly the use of the Moodle Platform for in-house and distance learning.

The school is a newcomer to the Erasmus+ Programme and is looking for partnerships for job shadowings and mobility of small groups of students, with the objective of becoming hosts at a later stage.
