It is small-scale and friendly, staffed with experienced teachers having a sincere desire to help you to learn in an atmosphere of relaxed, but attentive, individual support.
Our Italian language courses always have a direct link with external reality. What happens in town, the region and the country must be announced during the lessons. All individual external experiences provide material for the Italian language courses, a systematic work according to the principles of the applied linguistics. The content of teaching and of the cultural activities are therefore in direct link with:
all aspects of life of the town and the region;
training, choices and objectives;
students' sensitive, creative, artistic, intellectual and cultural reactions.
THE STRENGTH of our Italian language courses is that the class lessons include some cultural and practical activities such as a lesson about the Apulian homemade pasta course (students will do 3 types of homemade pasta in the kitchen of the school) when in class we will discuss Apulian gastronomy; a demonstration, on the school's terrace, of Apulian folk dance (the Pizzica, a type of tarantella) when it comes to the popular tradition of Tarantism. Other practical activities will be proposed during the lessons.
OUR ITALIAN LANGUAGE COURSES FOCUS ON CONVERSATION
Bruce Lee once said: “Knowing is not enough, we must apply. Willing is not enough, we must do”.
Being able to engage in conversation is key when speaking a new language. True mastery of the language comes when one has grasped vocabulary, sentence structure, grammar concepts, and linguistics.
Conversation will be improved by debates, round table discussions and role-plays;
You will learn how to sustain simple and also advanced conversation with natives.
