This Italian online classes is student centered and conversational.
Recorded video lectures are paired with reading and writing activities. They stress weekly interaction and communication through the discussion board between students.
There are also audio-video exercises, which are comprised of listening to dialogues and Italian songs. We also watch Italian videos and short clips of Italian movies, which emphasize Italian culture and serve as our point of discussion during our weekly activities.
Our synchronous classes are the students time and opportunity to practice their Italian with interactive activities such as conversations and simulation of real life situations. This allows them to test their skills and monitor their own progress. Authentic and relevant materials make each lesson more interesting and motivating.
