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.

Visiting Student may also enrol for culture courses such as IT1101 (Italy at the Movies 5 ECTS – year long, no previous knowledge of Italian required)
