Teacher Refresher Course

It is a 1-week programme with a very practical approach. The focus of the course is General Italian to Adults. A solid grounding is provided in teaching skills and techniques. We are aware that teachers come to Italy to keep in touch with the language in a general way in addition to working in the classroom, so that you can attend a language course ( from the perspective of a foreign learner) according to your level of italian and / or work in peer with a teacher trainer. So far the program is well designed also for teachers who aren't native italian speakers and don't live in Italy.

The programme includes 30 hours/week

· General Italian Course or work in peer with a teacher trainer - 20 lessons, 9-13

Teaching practice sessions through class observation. This is a key part of the course. Trainees observe the lessons taught by experienced teachers / teacher trainers. This is an opportunity to observe a wide range of teaching styles and techniques as well as a range of teaching contexts = 

· Tuition on Methodology (One-to-one ) - 10 lessons, 14-16

Further activities in the afternoon are optional: Lectures, excursions, guided visits to choose from on 2-3 days per week = 6 hours
Your tutor may work with you as a group, in pairs and individually.
