What is the course about?

The course gives intermediate learners of Italian the chance to review and consolidate their learning so that they feel more confident about their level of Italian. The teacher will bring new topics to discuss every week and will prompt the conversation with different stimuli such as questions, requests for opinions, and brief exercises. Although grammar is not a focus of this course, the teacher will signal and correct the main mistakes and will be at the students' disposal in case there is a need to clarify some concepts in order to improve learners' accuracy and confidence while speaking.

What will we cover?

- Consolidate the grammar learned on other courses
- Spoken accuracy and fluency
- Informal and formal speaking practice
- Vocabulary knowledge of different topics, tailored to the interests of the class.
