CENNI

La Secretaría de Educación Pública cuenta con un programa que busca establecer en México un marco nacional de referencia para la evaluación y certificación de idiomas, orientado a elevar la calidad educativa en la materia, especialmente en el caso de la enseñanza del idioma inglés como lengua extranjera.


Derivado de este programa, se crea la Certificación Nacional de Nivel de Idioma (CENNI), documento que permite referenciar de manera confiable y objetiva el nivel de conocimiento de un idioma determinado, tanto en lo general, como en lo posible, de manera específica en diversas habilidades lingüísticas.
Se establece la Certificación Nacional de Nivel de Idioma, como un documento oficial que permita a la Dirección General de Acreditación, Incorporación y Revalidación (DGAIR), así como a las autoridades e instituciones con las que se establezca la coordinación correspondiente, evaluar, acreditar y certificar conocimientos y aptitudes en materia de lenguas extranjeras, así como del español como lengua extranjera o lengua adicional.

Para nuestra Institución, la certificación CENNI, además de la importancia que tiene como referencia nacional, evaluación y certificación de idiomas, es un indicador de la enseñanza de calidad que nuestros estudiantes están recibiendo. Docentes capacitados y comprometidos con su quehacer docente, están permitiendo que nuestros alumnos estén obteniendo mejores resultados en dicha certificación.

Dicha certificación se lleva a cabo en completo orden y cuidado para que los estudiantes puedan obtener sus máximos resultados.

Summer Cup Training

UVM Campus Sur, Sede Tlalpan, gleefully receives Campus English Teachers for the annual Summer Training! by Fernanda Cortés.


Last Tuesday, June 21st, the E building at Sede Tlalpan threw open its doors to provide English Teachers with the annual Summer Training. From ten in the morning to two in the afternoon, teachers from both Sedes worked and collaborated with professionalism and enthusiasm under the banner: ‘Communicative Learning Objectives (CLOs)’.

With the presence of Languages Department Director, Teacher Martha Lilia García Torres González, and UVM  Corporate Teacher Trainers Aldo Flores Salas and Carlos A. Prado Garcia  led the teachers in the four hour workshop with the objective of valuing the importance of CLOs to reflect and implement them in classes, and analyze if our classes and planning have been effective.


Going back to basic aspects of planning and through the depicting and design of engaging and effective activities and techniques, Campus Tlalpan teachers took on the challenge of improving the numbers in QAD reports and make English classes more relevant, meaningful and fun for the community under their charge.

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the 2016 Language Leadership Team!  This year brings important innovations from Laureate to our Language programs and there is a lot of work ahead to get our UVM language team up to standard in our teaching and learning!  It is with professionals like you that we will be able to continue these efforts and ensure that all our language colleagues around the network are supported in their efforts on campus. 

This year, we will focus on working together as one Leadership team to bring important, practical deliverables to the network, and share our efforts with Laureate!  Already two of your fellow leaders have led the way in the Laureate online community with their important webinar conferences, where over 45 professionals from around the Laureate network, as far away as Germany and the UK, joined to learn from you!  Congratulations Frank and Abdel!   One of our continual commitments as the leadership team will be to continue these practices and bring your voices into the community as the experts you are in Languages in Laureate!

Congratulations Azarel and Welcome aboard!  We will be organizing our first face2face training in early June, and you will get the information shortly.  HOLD ON TIGHT!  This year is going to be amazing!
