The Spanish oil company Repsol is sponsoring the design, teaching, and evaluation of an Instituto Cervantes online program aimed at Libyan teachers of the Spanish language according to the monthly publication 'Language Magazine'.

Twenty Libyan Spanish language teachers will take the 100 to 120 hour online course this year to improve their teaching methodology according to an agreement signed by the director of the Cervantes Institute, Luis García Montero, with Repsol Exploracion Murzuq.

The course will be designed to update methodological knowledge and develop key teacher competencies in teaching Spanish. Trainees must have experience in teaching foreign languages and a B2 level of Spanish proficiency.

The Cervantes teacher training department will design the course, developed on the institute’s Moodle platform, which has a practical approach to encourage, through individual and group activities, participation and cooperative work among those enrolled.
