The programme of the language course (11 hours weekly) is that of our 8th level (a course for advanced students), with the flexibility and adaptability as of our formulation. It aims to provide a 'made to measure' service to those who attend the course. In particular, during the course of the lessons, maximum importance is given to the evolution of contemporary Italian ("mass-media" new words, special jargon, etc.). The syntax and style can also be included, if requested, in the course programme.

- Glottal didactics and knowledge of contemporary Italian (2 hours)

On request, the Centre organizes a lesson on the use of the audio-visual equipment for the teaching of Italian such as L2.
