INTERNAL FACTORSWEAKNESSES
Continuous incorporation of new students. Lack of tutorial attention before entering
the group Teachers’ disparity on the interpretation of
the welcome criteria Group instability due to the student changes Irregular attendance and high level of drop
outs Not enough amount of teaching hours for
the lowest levels The Centre doesn’t have a Coaching
Department Group diversity to be monitored by each
teacher. Difficulties when coordinating
STRENGTHS
Teachers’ positive and open attitude towards the diversity of nationalities and cultures
Teachers’ experience on adult education Flexible offer, adapted to the student needs
and interests. Variety of levels and timetables.
The Centre has appropriate facilities and technological resources.
Good atmosphere at school. New teachers are supported by the rest of staff and management.
Library with book loan and Internet service for students.
Teaching staff satisfaction for the work done and the degree of achievement of the foreseen objectives.
SWOT
EXTERNAL FACTORSTHREATS
Lack of contact with other similar schools in the country. Ignorance of other experiences.
Lack of coordination with other centres of support and social and training centres for immigrants in the same area.
Insecurity as we ignore the Administration Plans on the adult education.
Non-satisfactory answer to the teachers’ demands for continuous training.
Economic crisis: threaten the continuity of part of the student.
Not enough teaching staff. Inhibition of the Administration to improve
the centre. There is no coach among the school staff
OPPORTUNITIES
The possibility to use the Spanish Virtual Classroom within the courses.
Be the reference centre for adult education in the area and being known by all the institutions.
The need that foreign people have to learn Spanish is a great motivation to attend the courses.
The Administration allows anybody to study the courses, without taking into account their legal situation.
Citizens from the countries newly integrated into the EU increase the demand of Spanish to keep on studying and to improve their qualifications.
Be a zone reference centre allows us to have courses in other places and bring the lessons closer to the participant’s home.
The big development of the ICTs. High rates of unemployment produce an
increase in the training demand.
