The level of English or another language is very low. A percentage of 25% access the training cycles by the specially designed access test, so it can be considered that in large numbers come from school failure. In these students the level of languages is lower than in the average of the rest of the formative stages of the IES.The institute has developed several Erasmus + mobility projects in higher education and has extensive experience in professional training, which shows great interest in remaining competitive in new teaching-learning strategies.NUMBER, TYPE AND PROFILE OF THE PARTICIPATING STUDENTS:Number of participating students: 9.Age: 6 students under 20 years old, 2 students between 20 and 25 years old and a student over 30 years old.Gender: 8 male students and 1 female student.Professional profile: 5 students of the cycle of intermediate degree of commercial activities, two of the cycle of average degree of electrical and automatic installations and two of the cycle of average degree of mechanical manufacture (welding and boilermaking).Knowledge of languages: low in all cases.Social profile: In 89% of the cases with a low social profile and with great needs due to geographical origin or economic profile of the families.NUMBER, TYPE AND PROFILE OF PARTICIPATING PERSONNEL:2 teachers with training responsibility in the business activities cycle.
