Academic Year

Description. The Academic Year is a language and culture course that stretches over 32 weeks. During these weeks the language course is supported by various thematic cultural lessons. Regarding the language portion of the program, in addition to the standard course (20 lessons per week for a total of 480 lessons), 2 Exam Preparation courses are included in which students are able to test for two certificates of proficiency in Italian (the first after about 8 weeks of the start of the course, the second during the final part of the course). In addition to the lessons (80 in total), the cultural aspect of this course requires students to create a final written work in which they will have the opportunity to explore the themes that have interested them most during the course.

Objectives. The goal of this course is to accompany growth in language skills with a certain depth of cultural knowledge. The cultural lessons touch on various topics throughout the year. At the end of the course students will have to choose which topic is most interesting to them and relay their thoughts in their final written work.

Who it's for. This course is for those who want to follow a path of steady daily progression.
