You’ve studied this language before and can understand and participate in conversations on a variety of topic; express opinions, describe experiences in detail. In this class, we focus on more complex grammar and sentence structures and improving vocabulary related to different themes each week. Your goal is to express yourself more clearly and effectively and to handle more challenging listening tasks. The aim of this course is to help students progress in learning new structures of Italian grammar and vocabulary and to explore aspects of Italian culture. The course is strongly focused on communication: students will learn the language they need to interact with Italian speakers in real life situations. Prerequisites: the course is aimed at students who have a good knowledge of the Italian language or who have successfully completed the Improvers course offered by us. Teaching method: Role playing, pair-work, group-work, oral, listening, reading and written activities. Free online resources.
