The course is suitable for learners who have completed Italian 2 (Pre-Intermediate) on the after:hours programme, or have equivalent experience. If you are unsure if this is the correct course for you, please contact us for a free language level check.

Course overview

The course aims to extend and consolidate the language skills of those who have followed a post-beginners course, such as Italian 2 at Imperial, to enable you to communicate in Italian with a higher level of confidence and greater ease. The course focuses on developing your communication skills, encouraging expression and debate on a wide range of contemporary cultural and social issues using increasingly accurate and nuanced Italian.

The weekly programme will depend on the specific group dynamics, with the tutor leading and moderating the content depending on the development of skills across the whole group.

By the end of the course our aim is that you should have reached A1+ standard as described in the Common European Framework.

Information on the textbook to purchase for the course will be given in the first session.
