Adult & Higher Education

This course is for adults who have done some study of the language before, who have a basic knowledge of Italian and who can cope with basic "tourist conversations" and have studied the language for 2 years or equivalent. 

Homework is given on a weekly basis. To benefit most from the course, you will be encouraged to read the materials used during lessons and refer to the course book.

You will expand your vocabulary and grammar using all four language skills (speaking, listening, reading and writing) on practical topics.

• You will learn how to express opinions 
• You will have the opportunity to: 
• Read short texts and complete relevant worksheets.
• Write short sentences and translate simple texts into Italian.
• Listen to the teacher and to a variety of audio and video materials.
• Speak in class (pair/class work and reading aloud).

You need to have basic knowledge of the language e.g. Italian Year 2 or equivalent.

Skills you are expected to have to join this level:

• Being able to understand basic written texts that use the present and the past tenses   
• Being able to read aloud fairly accurately 
• Being able to answer some basic questions about yourself
