Enrolment options

The second period Italian course is designed for students who wish to continue learning the basics of the language. It completes level A1 and begins level A2.
 
Level A2 is quite similar to level A1, but with more refined and fluent skills. Students will be able to understand the main points of a conversation on simple, familiar topics, such as family, work or everyday life. They will also be able to carry on short exchanges limited to these topics, without being able to sustain a longer, more general conversation. The learner can read short texts and grasp simple information, and write short texts. In this way, they can survive immersed in the language they are learning, understanding and being understood only on simple, everyday topics.
Learning grammar forms the basis of language teaching, using intensive, interactive written and oral exercises. No aspect of learning is neglected: reading, translating, listening to and transcribing texts from songs, opera, theatre and film. Situations, vocabulary, gestures and culture will all be included, with the aim of making the students active participants in their own learning. Grammar will be approached according to a coherent progression within the framework of contextualised learning situations.
Communication practices will therefore be the priority learning objective. Their teaching will remain inseparable from the study of the culture in which linguistic practices are embedded.
