Mini-Group Intensive Course
The inlingua teaching method is expressed in our motto: “Facilitas loquendi in lingua est”, in other words, languages are best learned when talking! Learners get to experience a new linguistic environment.
No prerequisites Course duration: 2 weeks, Monday to Friday Class times from 09.00-12.00 or alternatively from 14.00-17.00 (20 lessons of 45’, coffee break included) The training team consists of 3 teachers Level placement: online written test prior to arrival and oral evaluation on the first day
The course can be taken at different levels of expertise A mini-group course has many advantages. First of all, the number of learners is kept to a minimum, meaning that you benefit from a greater degree of attention from your trainers (it’s not like being at school again!). What’s more, you even benefit from the input of your companions, helping them with their doubts and inaccuracies while they help you! The programme is designed to be fun too: of course you will learn new vocabulary, focus on grammar and do the test, but the weekly schedule is packed full of language games, interactive exercises and all kinds of media to help make your Italian experience a truly enjoyable and affordable one!
Prices The cost of a 2 week course is €550 per person, whilst each additional week costs €250. Registration is €100 and includes student book, audio cd, progress/final tests and the course certificate, use of our library/resource room .
Crash Intensity Programme© One to One
No prerequisites Course duration: one week, Monday to Friday The training team consists of 3 teachers.
The introduction of new grammatical structures should not take up more than a third of the time available. The main focus of this course is to make learners feel confident and able to express themselves in a variety of ways. Therefore it is essential that each day contains a variety of different activities that help to keep students interested and that help them absorb the taught content. A typical day in a full time course, disregarding the specific program chosen and the language level of tuition, is usually organised as follows: Morning: icebreakers - warm up exercises that give learners the opportunity to practice expressions right from the very start. Reading and listening comprehension exercises. Grammar and vocabulary focus related to the course programme. The afternoon: stress, intonation, pronunciation focus, recognition and production. Internet-based work and related fluency practice, with the aim of stimulating grammar discussion and correction. Role-plays and language games.
