All Italian courses are taught by native Italian instructors experienced in teaching Italian as second language.They follow a communicative approach and are limited in size. Courses are organized for adults interested in deepening their cultural knowledge or studying just for pleasure. For intermediate and advanced students, we offer special courses designed to learn Italian through content-based instruction, which integrates language with Liberal Arts Business Medicine and Law. At the end of the course students will receive a Certificate of Completion. |
