CENTRO STUDI ITALIANI, the Italian language school in Urbania

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.
 

Specific programme of curriculum subjects of culture (6 hours weekly).
- Language teaching and elements of contemporary Italian
- Textual analysis and learning of Italian from the texts
- Italian institutions
- Topics of recent Italian events

The teachers of individual subjects guarantee their assistance (tutorial) to the students who intend carrying out individual or group research and who are interested in the drawing up of papers or the preparation of exams.
 

Apart from the excursions, the guided tours and the "cultural evenings", our general programme foresees, if requested, the arranging of meetings with political and local administration representatives, with artists, men of learning and with the school world.
