Course Levels: Five different levels: Beginners (A1) This course is for students who
have never been in contact with the Italian language. Teachers will offer them
simple communication instruments to get in touch with other people (introducing,
speaking about themselves, ordering at a bar, going shopping, asking for
information). Elementary (A2) This course gives students the essential grammatical
and lexical instruments for everyday social situations, to narrate past experiences
and speak about future expectations. Intermediate (B1) The aim of this course is to
give the students the ability to speak correctly about past happenings or to express
wishes and suppositions. At the same time, the students will be put into contact
with simple Italian texts and passages for discussion. Upper intermediate (B2) At
the end of this course, students will have the ability to formulate suppositions in
a complete way and to express ideas about every situation. The teaching method is
enriched by reading news- papers and magazines and producing written texts. Advanced
1 (C1) The two objectives of this course are a good, analytical knowledge of Italian
grammar and the development of speaking abilities through the use of difficult texts
and audio-visual media. Advanced 2 (C2) The objectives are the same as those above,
but with greater attention to learning different linguistic styles and written
production.
Description: The school The classrooms in Centro Italiano are located in a historic
building in the nineteenth-century tree-lined Piazza D’Azeglio. Just a couple of
minutes’ walk away is the S. Ambrogio district with its antique food stalls and
flea market. It’s an area which has maintained its identity with mainly Florentine
residents, off the track of mass tourism. Little shops, artisan’s workshops,
coffee shops, restaurants and theatres make this part of Florence particularly
pleasant and lively. Not far away are Piazza Santa Croce, the Duomo, the University
and some of the most important museums in the city.The area is on most bus routes
making it easy to reach other parts of the city quickly and easily. The school
premises include spacious airy, classrooms, an internet point, a free Internet
connection and a peaceful garden. Management and teaching staff The school is run by
Anja Schultz and Andrea Moradei, who having gained almost 30 years’ experience in
the field, they have decided to create this new center, with the aim of offering a
variety of programs better suited to the demands and interests of language learners
from abroad. Note in particular the customized Italian language programs directly
linked to students’ reasons for learning Italian. Special attention is now devoted
to the afternoon individual and group programs providing background information to
History of art, the Arts, photography, modern architecture and design , political
and social analysis, Tuscan cuisine, food and wine. This new approach naturally led
us to consider sharing experiences with the Centro Italiano in Naples, as their
centre have been operating along these lines for many years, with excellent results.
We should therefore like to offer our students the results of both experiences.
