| description | Language is, par excellence, the way of communication between persons and peoples. Spanish has always aroused a lot of interest in the academic world. In Côte d’Ivoire, the analysis of the school course and university corroborates that. In this article, first, we will briefly comment on the secondary school and the university organization. We secondly will try to analyze the presence of Spain in Côte d’Ivoire as at the social and economically level. If English has always been a language of priority worldwide in terms of knowledge, other languages like French, Spanish, German, Italian and Portuguese do not stop being another way of international communication, though in a minor scale. In case of the Spanish, staggering positions are reached and it is called to occupy a preponderant place in countries in which it is not the official language, as the USA, Brazil and, in Africa, the case of Côte d’Ivoire and Senegal. Our article is inspired by other studies on Spanish in different countries non Spanish speaking, articles about the commercial relations between Spain and Côte d’Ivoire and sometimes between Spain and Africa. In addition, we also make reference to some of the organizations, the students' services and the departments of Spanish at the universities of Abidjan and Bouaké. |
