Information for Visiting Students who have not studied Italian before

Language:

The course, open to all students, both beginners and non-beginners, focuses on the four main language skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing) using regular practice based, as much as possible, on authentic material carefully selected to provide a gradual introduction to the structures and functions of the language.  Students will achieve a good level of fluency by the end of the year to enable them to cope with everyday situations in Italy.  Students will also be offered additional tuition in the multi-media labs and revision classes are organized during the year to help students learning a new language.

Culture:

This course is designed to give students an idea of some of the main trends in Italian history, society and culture.  It gives students a better understanding of the country behind the Italian language and gives a context to many issues students will encounter in Italian society today.
