Advanced Italian: Language and Culture

This course is suitable for those who have an advanced knowledge of the language (CEFR Level C1/C2). Ideally, you would have completed a level 5 course.

You will go beyond pure language learning and you will explore historical and cultural aspects while fine-tuning your fluency and grammar.

In this non-qualification course you will learn the language in an immersive way. The tutor will be responsive to the class needs, responding to the group weaknesses. Learners are expected to predominately practice their speaking and listening skills in class and practice reading and writing skills as part of regular homework tasks. This gives the tutor an opportunity to identify group weaknesses and to provide you with personalised feedback to help you improve.

You need to have a good understanding of the spoken language, as well as be able to produce it verbally (to a greater or lesser degree of accuracy) in order to access lessons and complete tasks effectively.

This course leads to progression courses in the language. Your tutor will be able to give you more information before the end of your course.
