Communicative Italian courses \u2013 focused on developing oral skills \u2013 30 hours.<\/strong>
These courses focus on collaborative tasks, assignments and simulations in pairs or small groups that reproduce real-life situations. The aim is to promote more fluent communication, with different objectives depending on CEFR<\/a> level (from Pre-A1 to B2). However, they include elements of grammar that are useful for communication activities. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

General Italian courses \u2013 40 hours.<\/strong>
These courses develop all language skills (listening, reading, writing and use of the language).
They also cover oral production, although to a lesser extent than communicative courses.
They are offered for all levels, from Pre-A1 to C1, according to the the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR<\/a>).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Courses are structured as follows: 4 hours of lessons per week (2 meetings of 2 hours each per week). Any textbooks are at the student’s expense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second semester courses will be offered from March to May 2026.<\/strong><\/span>
