Italian Language, Art and Culture
Programs and Course

Our courses represent a communications program based on the realities of everyday life in Italy, and include the main aspects of social and cultural reality. We have established a program which, through the selection of specific reading materials, helps the student experience Italian society in an individual, personal way and not merely though the eyes of a tourist.

School and Teachers

All our school teachers have university degrees in languages, either a master degree or a doctor's degree. Besides that, all the teachers are selected on personal traits. We emphasise and encourage openness, commitment and friendliness. All our teachers will be committed to you. Not because they have to, but because they want to. They are always receptive and available to your questions, remarks and needs.

Method

The method of the school is based on the 'communicative method', which easily enables you to develop expressive skills along with written communication, and 'edutainment' (education + entertainment), which enables you to learn in a short-time with fun. Our method of teaching is designed to enable quality, flexibility, interaction and customisation.

Before attending the school we assess your personal interests and gain a first indication of your level. On arrival we estimate your knowledge adequately with an entrance test. During the course, once a week, we monitor your progress and offer you ready, personalised homework assignments.

Furthermore, our teaching materials enable and stimulate interactivity, both among the students and with the teachers. Our enthusiastic team of qualified native Italian-speaking teachers focus on personal participation and continuous interaction among the students, concentrating on the four language skills: speaking, listening comprehension, reading and writing. Along with up-dated traditional learning materials, games, quizzes, riddles and much more will make studying Italian at Scuola Tricolore a real pleasure.
