Return to Italian (lower intermediate)

What is the course about?

This course is a revision and consolidation course to enable you to join a level 2 or 3 course next term. You will refresh your existing Italian and look again at lower intermediate grammar and vocabulary. Additionally, you'll begin to revive your speaking and listening skills.

What will we cover?

The grammar covered will depend in part on how much the learners remember and which areas they need to practise, though we will certainly be looking at the present simple and continuous, the passato prossimo and various other grammar areas such as adjective/noun agreement and prepositions.

What will I achieve?
By the end of this course you should be able to...

- Feel more confident about joining a lower intermediate/intermediate level Italian course.
- Use verbs more skilfully in both speaking and writing.
- Recall more of the vocabulary you had learned previously.

Please note that the learning outcomes may vary depending on the general progress made by the students.

What level is the course and do I need any particular skills?

This course is intended for leaners who have done two or three years of Italian in the past. This course will enable you to refresh your Italian to be able to progress to a mainstream course next term.
It can also be a good revision course if you have completed an Italian lower intermediate course recently.

How will I be taught, and will there be any work outside the class?

Our courses are characterised by spoken interaction and communication. Typical activities include pair work, group work, role plays and games. A range of resources will be used to support your learning including presentations, hand-outs, and audio-visual material.

Are there any other costs? Is there anything I need to bring?

Based on tutor's own material.

When I've finished, what course can I do next?

The tutor will advise you on what further Italian courses will be suitable for you, depending on your progress during this short course.
