THE TEACHING METHOD AND STRUCTURE OF CLASSES

Our communicative approach is based on interactive activities in the classroom and group activities outside with many cultural trips to a variety of local places of archaeological, artistic and historical interest.

Exposure to every day real Italian also helps students to develop a natural ear for the language in a variety of authentic communicative situations.

Classes are always small with a maximum of 6 students and courses are offered in six levels as described in the Common European Framework of Reference for languages.

In the morning there are general language lessons with activities to encourage the practical application of the language and the analysis of form and structure with the aim of fully involving each student in their own linguistic process. In the afternoon the numerous cultural activities and excursions take place.
