| ITALIAN LANGUAGE COURSES |
| |
Besides customised courses organised for companies, we also organise general language courses open to everyone.
A complete diploma course comprises three Levels: Fist Level – Beginner, Second Level – Intermediate, Third Level – Advanced. The duration of each level is 40 hours, spread over a period of three months, but which can also be customised according to your requirements.
Our lessons follows the guideline used to describe achievements of learners of foreign languages across Europe, known as CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages: Learning, Teaching, Assessment). The three reference levels according to CEFR are becoming widely accepted as the standard for grading an individual's language proficiency:
|
| |
| First Level – Beginner |
|
Can understand and use familiar everyday expressions and very basic phrases aimed at the satisfaction of practical needs. |
| Can introduce themselves and others and can ask and answer questions about personal details such as where they live, people they know and things they have. |
| Can interact in a simple way, provided the other person talks slowly and clearly and is prepared to help. |
| |
| Second Level – Intermediate |
|
Can understand sentences and frequently used expressions related to areas of most immediate relevance (eg, very basic personal and family information, shopping, local geography, employment). |
| Can communicate in simple and routine tasks requiring a simple and direct exchange of information on familiar and routine matters. |
Can describe in simple terms aspects of their background, immediate environment and matters in areas of immediate need. |
| |
| Third Level – Advanced |
|
Can understand the main points of clear standard input on familiar matters regularly encountered at work, school, leisure, etc. |
Can deal with most situations likely to arise while travelling in an area where the language is spoken. |
| Can produce simple connected text on topics that are familiar or of personal interest. |
| Can describe experiences and events, dreams, hopes and ambitions and briefly give reasons and explanations for opinions and plans. |
| |
Students are examined at the end of each level, and on completing the entire course will receive the Diploma certificate from the Italian Embassy. |
