MEDELLIN, Colombia (AP) - Se habla espanol? An estimated 14 million people who study Spanish soon may be able to measure their proficiency with a test language specialists hope will become the Spanish-language equivalent to the widely accepted Test of English as a Foreign Language, or TOEFL.
The International System of Spanish as a Foreign Language — or SICELE for its Spanish initials — was unveiled by Spanish language experts Wednesday in Colombia's second-largest city of Medellin.
It will be formally presented to King Juan Carlos I of Spain at the close of the educators' assembly here on Saturday, before the start of the 4th International Congress of the Spanish Language later this month in the Caribbean port city of Cartagena.
