Estos títulos pueden abrirte muchas puertas profesionales o personales si quieres mejorar tu currículum, buscar un trabajo internacional, estudiar en una universidad española o fijar tu residencia en España. Pero, ¿en qué se diferencian? ¿Cuál te interesa más?

EXAMEN DELE

El DELE (Diploma de Español como Lengua Extranjera) es un título del Ministerio de Educación de España que, a través de un examen del Instituto Cervantes, reconoce un nivel de español del A1 al C2.

Tiene vigencia indefinida, reconocimiento internacional en sistemas educativos reglados y se realiza en centros oficiales mediante convocatorias internacionales con fechas definidas.

Examen DELE y SIELE, principales diferencias

Examen SIELE

El certificado SIELE (Servicio Internacional de Evaluación de la Lengua Español) es una acreditación de conocimientos de español promovida por distintas entidades (Instituto Cervantes, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), Universidad de Salamanca (USAL) y Universidad de Buenos Aires (UBA)) de varios países.

Con una vigencia de cinco años, el SIELE tiene reconocimiento por la mayoría de los centros profesionales y universidades de España y Latinoamérica, y puede realizarse en a través de centros examinadores tanto de manera presencial como online.

Principales diferencias entre DELE y SIELE

La principal diferencia entre DELE y SIELE es su validez: el diploma DELE reconoce tus competencias en español de manera indefinida, mientras que el certificado SIELE tiene una validez de 5 años.

Por otra parte, el DELE es un diploma de dominio del español en un nivel del MCER (A1-C2), mientras que el SIELE es un certificado de conocimiento de español sobre una escala de puntos con equivalencias a los niveles del MCER (A1-C1).

Estructura del examen

Respecto al tipo de pruebas, son prácticamente las mismas (Comprensión de lectura, Comprensión auditiva, Expresión e interacción escritas y Expresión e interacción orales).

Sin embargo,  si te examinas del DELE, todas obligatorias, pero en el SIELE puedes optar por el examen «completo» o «parcial» (solo te examinarás de las partes que quieras).

Respecto a los niveles, el DELE tiene seis exámenes para público adulto (A1- C2) y dos exámenes escolares (A1-A2/B1).

El SIELE tiene un único examen para público adulto en el que se integran tareas desde el A1 hasta el C1.

Sistema de puntuación

La calificación de DELE y SIELE también es diferente.

Para obtener el diploma DELE, tendrás que aprobar todas las partes y conseguir un resultado Apto sobre el dominio del nivel del que te examines.

Si haces el examen SIELE, tendrás un certificado de nivel (si haces el examen completo) o un informe (si haces únicamente una parte) en una escala de mil puntos y con equivalencia a los niveles del MCER. Es decir, que el SIELE no se aprueba ni se suspenda, sino que siempre obtendrás una puntuación

¿Cuál te interesa más?

Depende de tus circunstancias personales.

Tanto DELE como SIELE son exámenes oficiales y con validez internacional, pero sus mecánicas de evaluación son diferentes.

En líneas generales, el SIELE se considera es más ágil y dinámico, tanto por el tipo de competencias que se evalúan como por la manera de hacerlo y sus posibilidades de adaptación a cada alumno.

De hecho, podrás elegir el día que te viene mejor hacer el examen SIELE, e incluso elegir qué competencias quieres evaluar. El examen DELE tiene unas fechas determinadas, puedes consultarlas aquí.

Según nuestra experiencia, si lo que quieres/necesitas es obtener es un certificado de nivel rápido para acceder a la universidad, hacer un máster o saber en qué aspectos del idioma español debes mejorar en el futuro, te recomendamos que te presentes al SIELE.

También te recomendamos presentarte al SIELE si quieres examinarte poco a poco para alcanzar un nivel global completo o para mejorar únicamente las destrezas del idioma que más te interesen.

I really enjoy studying at Taronja. The classes are very engaging and the teachers are very supportive. There are also lots of social and cultural events where you can meet new people and practice your Spanish. I highly recommend!

I am a retired language teacher (at high school and university level ) and as such I feel I can offer a qualified opinion on the teaching method of the Taronja staff. I am pleased to give it 5 stars. All lessons were well prepared, engaging and fun. All staff members were supportive yet challenging. I was pleasantly surprised not to feel my age as a handicap among students largely much younger than me. I had fun with them and met many other older students as well. As to the activities offered by the school, there were so many of them that you could pick and choose. My husband (studying at a different level than mine) and I, did exactly that. We didn't go to all but enjoyed what we had chosen. We enjoyed the cooking class, the songs, the movies, the Saturday excursion. I saw a critic among the reviews concerning a bull fight and I thought that was totally out of line. If you disagree with an offered activity that is part of the culture you are supposedly trying to learn about, just don't go. But don't blame the school for offering other people with different values than yours a chance to experience that activity! Anyway, we had such a good experience that we are seriously thinking about going back to study in Taronja next spring for a couple of weeks at least. Well done Taronja staff, the whole team, teachers, office staff, organizers. We loved the school, we adored Valencia. We will be back. Thank you all so much!

I’ve studied at Taronja in Valencia for almost 3 weeks now and I already don’t want to leave. The teachers are nice and I felt really welcomed since I first stepped trough the schools doors! Outside of school there are activities organised by the school almost everyday. So don’t bring too many books with you, there will be enough to do here 😉

Great experience I went to this solo for 1 week. I wanted to try it first and then extend to 2 more weeks.
(when you extend you need to do it early in the week or risk all spots getting full)
Complete beginner intensive course, I was in a class of 7 people of various ages.
4 young teachers - enthusiastic and made the classes fun. When you have 4 hours (with 1 break of 20m) it's a good thing to make them fun, otherwise you will get bored and lose focus.
I can't say much about if the structure of the lessons was optimal or not, it worked for me, I was able to speak with people for a little bit after only one week without studying extra at home.
And again, they make it fun, if they just give you the top 100 verbs and conjugation for all of them and ask you to repeat them for 4 hours - it might be more effective but it would bore you to tears and you could easily do that on your own.
The best part for me was also to meet different people there from all over the world. The school has daily extra activities that you can optionally attend to and there you get to meet them.

Learning Spanish, Culture, and so much more I spent one week at Taronja School, studying A1 Spanish and would go back in a heartbeat💕. The small classes were very engaging, and teachers were enthusiastic and caring. Taronja is much more than classes though, every night they had engaging activities where you could practice Spanish with fellow classmates and explore new places all over Valencia, and beyond with the teachers and ambassadors of the school. I had so much fun and met the most wonderful people from all over the world. I am in my 50s which I think is significant because they truly treated every person like family and had a group Buena Vida for people over 27 😂 to connect and be able to do things together. I'm really looking forward to going back In the future. They also have housing at a reasonable rate if you're staying for a longer period of time . Thank you Taronja☀️💐🎉

Nothing but positive things to say about Taronja I've spent 3 weeks at Taronja and i have nothing but positive things to say about the school. All of the lessons are really engaging and the staff incredibly helpful, friendly and patient (vital when trying to teach me a foreign language!). I'm in my mid 40's and what i particularly like is how well the school is geared up for students of all ages. Cracking stuff all round.

OVERALL As a school teacher (of Maths and some other things), I had supported the Spanish trip here with my pupils in April 2023. I could see what a transformative experience it was for them so much so that I wanted it for myself. My time at Taronja can only be described as excellent. Everyone at the school tries to ensure you have the best time possible which is impressive based on the carousel of students who come-and-go each week. All the staff treated me with kindness and respect. Thank you to Maxi and Fernando for running such a unique place. The last 4 weeks at Taronja have been exciting, interesting, eventful, busy, enjoyable and compact with information. The last time I studied a language was 14 years ago. I was not very keen on languages in school but my time spent at Taronja has made me believe that I can learn a language to a much higher level than I ever thought possible. That alone has been worth it. LEARNING EXPERIENCE The teachers were fun and engaging. As an absolute beginner, I did the Intensive course + conversation class + private lessons. That helped with my exposure to the language and the private classes were helpful in ironing out some issues. I did this for the first three weeks, then extended by a week and "dropped down" to "only" the intensive course, which is plenty. If I were building up for an exam I would definitely pick up the private classes again. And the conversation classes were energetically delivered to give you important insights of Spanish conversational etiquette. Overall, I was able to enjoy lessons taught by patient, *knowledgeable* and kind teachers, who have reminded me about the importance of these characteristics in my own teaching practice. Teaching beginners must be tough and it was done with grace, style, poise and importantly, a smile. Thank you Laura, Carmen, Antonio, Miguel Angel, Nestor, Carol, Jenny, Nerea, and especially Mica and Paula for your infectious energy and humour. ACADEMIC ADMIN The organisation of the timetable and classes was clearly communicated in advance via WhatsApp. I know some people didn't feel as though they were in the right class for their level and changes were made almost instantly to help. This was managed by the academic team. SUPPORT Organising, arriving, and extending my stay was made very easy by the ladies at the front desk, in particular Elena and Roza! Emails were responded to promptly and they were always so helpful. Waving to them in the morning and getting a wave back made things feel a bit more like home! SOCIAL Plenty of opportunities to socialise with others at the school. Most people I attended school with were between 19-25. But there was also a considerable contingent of older pupils too (e.g. 31, 40 and 70!). This is all taken into consideration when forming classes and social activities. There are activities organised by the school for every day of the week. I went during high season (i.e. the summer) so there were a lot of people. Some activities are linked to other language schools which broadens your pool of potential connections. A lot are free. Many are heavily subsidised. Because there is a fluid change of people from week to week the extent to which you find things socialable will depend on who you share your time at the school with. But similarly minded people would pay money to attend a summer school, so it's likely to be fine for you, as it was for me! As an over-27, I was added to a WhatsApp group for additionally organised activities. BOCARIOS (Interns) An excellently led intern team support the activities and were a good group to talk to in general. Very helpful! GENERAL THOUGHTS When in Spain and doing things, there is a naturally occurring opportunity to practice the language. Whether you decide to is your own choice! And indeed your experience in general heavily depends on you 😇 . Approach it with an open heart and fresh eyes.
