Which would you apply to C1 or C2 level in English?

Matrícula formativa in EEOOII

A Matrícula Formativa is a special type of enrolment at the Escuelas Oficiales de Idiomas that allows students to attend classes purely for learning purposes, without taking final exams or obtaining a certificate.

It is mainly designed for students who want to revise or strengthen a level they have already completed, those who have reached the highest level available and wish to continue practising, or people who cannot enrol in the standard way.

The key feature of this option is that it focuses entirely on practice and improvement, rather than academic progression. Students participate in lessons as usual, but their progress is not formally assessed, and this option can generally only be used once per level.

👉 In short, it is an ideal option for learners who want to keep improving their language skills without the pressure of exams.

The Matrícula Formativa is applied for in September, during the final phase of allocating vacant places, and the deadline usually extends until October.

US-Venezuela oil agreement

Dear readers,

This week’s big story was the new U.S.-Venezuela oil agreement, which will give Washington access to 17 Venezuelan oil fields and has triggered a wave of fresh investment announcements. The White House has presented the deal as a strategic win, but investment banks say the agreement is unlikely to have a meaningful effect on oil prices.

Meanwhile, we spoke with Darializa Ávila Chevalier, the Afro-Latina democratic socialist who stunned New York’s political establishment with an upset primary victory and now appears headed for Congress. Backed by New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, she argues that the United States needs “an economic system that gives people dignity” and sees affordable housing and child poverty as some of the country’s most urgent challenges.

In science, new research is offering fresh clues about one of humanity’s oldest questions: who we are and how we become that way. A major study has identified more than 1,200 genetic variants associated with personality traits, helping scientists better understand the relationship between our DNA and our behavior.

And in culture, we looked at the remarkable career of Angélique Kidjo, the Beninese singer who helped transform the way the world listens to African music. Recently honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, she is the first Black African artist to receive the distinction, recognition of a career that has expanded the global reach of African music without compromising its roots.

We hope you enjoy this selection of stories from EL PAÍS US Edition.
