Courses in Italian language away from mass tourism !
 
"Corsi di italiano" Italian Language Schools in Italy
Italian culture and Italian language courses: to learn Italian in a real Italian environment
learn Italian in Bologna (the first University in Europe), learn Italian in Arezzo (Tuscany),
learn Italian in Manciano-Maremma (South Tuscany) 

The school is situated in Bologna (also in Arezzo and Maremma), a medieval town of Etruscan origin whose beauty has not yet been discovered by mass tourism. In this city it is easy to make contact with the Italian people. Bologna's University is the oldest in Europe. Concerning statistics, Bologna is the city where most Italians would like to live

The courses begin on Monday with the classification test for 10 different levels and last 4,3,2 or 6, 8, 12 weeks. These courses consist of 20 lesson-hours plus 6 hours of extracurricular programme per week. Classes take place either in the morning between 9.00 a.m. and 12.40 p.m. or in the afternoon between 1 p.m. and 4.40 p.m. There are four classes each of 50 minutes, with a 20 minute break in the middle. During the first half of the morning or afternoon one teacher gives lessons on grammar structure and vocabulary; during the second part another concentrates on expression and communication. Besides the normal classes of 6-12 students the school also offers classes with 3-5 or 2 participants and individual classes. At the end of the course the participant receives a certificate.

Classes are held by professional teachers with experience in teaching Italian as a foreign language. Classes consist of learning the forms of the Italian language, its rules and its communicative use. Particular care will be given to the usage of the language, to expression, to a good comprehension and to the ability to use the language in particular situations. Because of the intensive character, our courses require much cooperation from the participants. About 2 hours’ homework per day is expected of each student. In case of didactic differences within a single class, the school will divide the class into smaller groups and reduce the class-time as follows: 4-5 people: three lesson-hours; 2-3 people: two and a half lesson-hours; 1 person: one and a quarter lesson-hour. Small groups do more intensive work in class and at home and reach the same level as those in the larger groups

The school provides the didactic material, including free photocopies. Text-books are lent by the school
