Italy Today' course: Italian language and culture
Recommended for:
Students that already have basic Italian linguistic skills and in addition to improving their language, want to know more about the Italian culture, history and to understand its economic, social and political situation.
'Italy Today' is a programme that combines the Intensive Italian language course (4 Italian lessons a day, a total of 20 lessons a week) with a collection of lessons about Italian culture, history, economics and society.
The course is available for 2 or 4 weeks.
A deep understanding of another culture is achieved by aquiring linguistic abilities, but also through studying and examining the history and society: in the programme of this course, these two aspects are perfectly combined.
2 or 4 weeks for total immersion in the Italian culture, spirit and outlook.
The intensive Italian language course is one part of the program and consists of 4 Italian lessons a day, with a total of 20 lessons a week.
The lessons start every Monday of the year and take place from Monday to Friday in classes of no more than 12 students.
In addition to the language course, each day, 1 extra lesson will deal with a wide variety of topics and activities linked to art, culture, history, folklore and the media, focusing on the economic, social, and political situation of contemporary Italy.
