Abstract

This work shows a project of acquisition of the communicative linguistic competences of the immigrant population and its official certification. It was developed in the following phases: by analysing the immigrant population’s communicative needs, de- signing the diploma, making the public aware, training examiners and assessing the project. 295 participants and 30 centres undergoing the language certificate process. For many immi- grants, obtaining this certificate (97.1%) is a personal achievement because it increases their basic communication competences, which favours their full integration into the society, and thus, helping them adapt better to their welcoming community. © 2016, Universidad de Granada.
