The Italian language Courses

Our Teaching Methods and Materials

The Italian Language courses we offer at Spoletium stem from the intensive teaching experience in foreign countries our teachers have carefully gained over many years.
When laying out our language courses we take into full account the most recent outcomes in scientific research about learning Italian as a foreign language. Our courses comply with the standard regulations set by the European Common Framework of Reference for Language Learning.

Joining our School you'll be sure to be using the most effective learning materials available on the market. Our courses draw on a wide range of written and audiovisual sources (some of them produced by the School teachers and thus unavailable elsewhere) and always teach the Italian language in the context of Italian culture. Texts, tapes, videos and role-plays will lead you not just to a solid grasp of the structure of the Italian language but also to effectively develop communication skills ready to be used in your daily life

Our Teachers

	All our teachers have a BA degree in the Italian Humanities and have specialized in fields such as Italian Linguistic, Italian Literature, and Italian Philology. The experience our teachers have gained teaching Italian to non-native speakers in Italian schools abroad in countries as diverse as Germany and Japan, will prove a dramatic asset for you to smoothly acquire your desired communication skills. Weekly courses for teachers of Italian looking for an update of their teaching methods are also available at our School.
