ITALIAN TEACHING METHOD

COMMUNICATIVE APPROACH

Our method of Italian language teaching focuses on the student's expectations, needs and personal learning style. We work with our students to offer a learning environment which helps them achieve their personal goals while studying Italian. A general communicative approach is combined with all the techniques and teaching strategies of the newest didactic, allowing us to customize the learning path and the program for each individual student even in the same course as others. Our Italian teachers are prepared to work with different and any kind of learning subjects and to offer to all students the chance to learn and improve at every lesson, listening to their requests and communicating with them in every aspect of the learning process.

The development of the communicative skills and of the ability to speak in real scenarios such as at work, at school, at a party or in social relationships, has always been the priority in respect to the study of grammar and of the formal aspects of the language. This does not mean that during the course grammar and phonetics are not studied, though they always have a secondary importance.

Italian courses are very dynamic and require an active participation by the students, respecting their own rhythm of learning and their own expectations, without forcing anybody to speak without spontaneity and joy, and at the same stimulating a relaxing, productive, and funny communication.


INTERCULTURAL APPROACH

The key of our courses is the Intercultural Approach. Our teachers are not only "language trainers", they are also curious persons and thirsty for culture. Every Italian lesson has a big part dedicated to intercultural subjects and every participant is asked to talk about his culture, making a comparison with other countries and especially with Italy and the city of Rome.

This approach ensures an active participation in the class activity and develops interesting opportunities to be part of the group. Everyone can express his personal opinion, and the teacher is bound to moderate debates and discussions in a democratic and wide open context.
