Bridging Cultures Through Language: LEB Malaysia and Expanish Barcelona Launch ELEGATE
In a move to expand global learning opportunities, London Examinations Board (LEB) Malaysia has partnered with Expanish Barcelona to deliver the European Language Gateway (ELEGATE) programme. This initiative offers Malaysian students the chance to embark on a transformative Spanish language mobility experience in Barcelona, with programme durations ranging from three to six months.
ELEGATE is designed to go beyond conventional classroom learning. By immersing students directly in the vibrant cultural and social life of Barcelona, the programme enables participants to not only master the Spanish language but also gain first-hand exposure to European culture, perspectives, and values. Through this combination of structured lessons and cultural engagement, ELEGATE provides a holistic learning journey that strengthens both academic and personal growth.
Expanish Barcelona, known for its commitment to excellence, cultural immersion, and student-centered learning, offers an ideal setting for this initiative. With small class sizes, experienced instructors, and a strong emphasis on intercultural exchange, Expanish ensures that students learn Spanish in an environment that is practical, engaging, and internationally relevant.
For LEB Malaysia, the collaboration represents a step forward in broadening mobility pathways for Malaysian students. By offering access to language proficiency and cross-cultural competencies, ELEGATE equips participants with skills that are increasingly valuable in a globalized world—whether in academic progression, professional advancement, or personal development.
More than just a language course, the ELEGATE programme is a gateway to Europe, empowering Malaysian students to build confidence, expand their networks, and cultivate a global mindset. In doing so, LEB Malaysia and Expanish Barcelona are jointly shaping a new generation of learners who are linguistically capable, culturally aware, and prepared to thrive on the world stage.
We strive to dismantle barriers and build bridges, fostering a culture where diverse perspectives enrich the educational experience and where equity is woven into the fabric of our program. - Elena Villaescusa, Global Operations Director, Expanish
