ITALIANO LIVELLO A2/B1

Italian language Course for Teacher

Italiano in movimento

Il corso è pensato per i docenti che desiderano apprendere o perfezionare la lingua italiana direttamente nel contesto in cui è parlata, approfondendone al contempo le radici culturali e artistiche. Il percorso si svolge tra Modena e Ascoli Piceno e combina 25 ore di didattica frontale (adattata ai bisogni dei partecipanti) con attività laboratoriali e visite guidate pomeridiane. L’obiettivo è duplice: il potenziamento linguistico dei docenti e la creazione pratica di moduli didattici e itinerari culturali.

This course is designed for educators who wish to master the Italian language within its natural context while simultaneously deepening their knowledge of Italian art and culture. Held between Modena and Ascoli Piceno, the program combines 25 hours of classroom instruction—tailored to the participants’ needs—with hands-on workshops and guided afternoon tours. The objective is twofold: to enhance the teachers’ own language proficiency and to provide the tools for creating practical teaching modules and cultural itineraries .

  • 1-day excursion to Ravenna/Roma to be booked when enrolling in the course (for a fee)

Metodology and Assessment

All our courses include an active and participatory methodology. Each phase of the training is focused on achieving the objectives set and participants are constantly encouraged to carry out practical experiences to replicate in the classroom with their students. Our methodology is based above all on communication and practical learning. Throughout the process, digital tools that improve both the understanding and production of texts will provide valid help and support.


For each module, final group work is used which stimulates discussion and creates motivating learning experiences by putting each planned action into a situation.
