TEACHING METHOD
Our school uses a combination of both communication and grammatical methods, making the student the centre of the learning process.
Our method considers, above all for beginners, the linguistic differences and complexities faced by students speaking totally different languages.
The founders of Gens Italica, have had direct experience and dealings with languages of other countries, and are subsequently able to verify, on the spot, peculiar linguistic and cultural difficulties.
Respecting these peculiarities, our method ensures deep grammatical and communicative learning, guaranteed by the high cultural level of our teachers.
In addition to this approach, communication and comprehension are stimulated by using not only the traditional methods during classes, but also through games and/or friendly gatherings between students and teachers, where the students will practice Italian, covering various topics, in accordance with their level.
LEVELS
Students with no prior knowledge of Italian will be enrolled in elementary
1.
While those who have previously studied Italian, will, after an entrance test, be divided into the following levels:
elementary 2, intermediate 1, intermediate 2, intermediate 3, superior 1, superior 2.
TEACHING MATERIAL
The teaching material used for each level is authentic and accompanied by other materials such as narrative books, newspapers, magazines, movies, songs, comics and radio/TV programs.
