Homework
After our class, I assign a worksheet to complete. I always check the homework, and we will complete the work together if the student doesn't have time to complete it.
Assessment
I do informal assessments during the course to evaluate the progress of the learners. I always encourage them to keep all the worksheets organized and completed.

Class Experience

Beginner Level
In this class, students will be taught grammar, reading, and writing skills in the Italian language, and how to speak with proper intonation.

Topics covered in this course include how to introduce oneself, phonetics, the numbers, the days of the week, the months, everyday expressions, the colors, the seasons, food, travel, music, and daily activities.

The class is structured around the strengths and weaknesses of the students to maximize learning.
I am a patient, enthusiastic, positive, challenging, and motivating teacher; I always have a lesson plan, but I can be flexible if required.

Students will interact often with both the teacher and the other students. Speaking with others is a fundamental part of learning a language, as it allows students to become comfortable expressing themselves and permits them to practice and bolster their vocabulary.

This is a beginner's course; all are welcome. No prior knowledge is needed to enroll.

Session I Summary: 
Week 1:  Introduction to vowels and how to read them in Italian words. The sounds of the alphabet. Discuss what makes Italian an easy language to learn and how we can speed up our learning. Learn how to introduce ourselves.

Week 2: Continue to learn the sounds of the letters. How to greet others and use practical Italian vocabulary. The numbers from 0 to 20.

Week 3: The days of the week and how to use them in everyday expressions. 

Week 4: Introduction to "Le parole gentili", or words of politeness. Learn about different Italian foods. 

Week 5: Introduction to colors and associating them with objects and things. 

Week 6: The months of the year. How to write and say the date. Learn our birthdate. Learn the seasons.

Learning Goals

The main goal of this course is to have the learners speak - with proper pronunciation - in full sentences with a wide variety of vocabulary. 
In addition, students will develop their reading and writing skills.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! My name is Lucia, and I am an Italian and English language teacher. Born in Italy, I moved to the US as a child and made it my home. I am a native Italian speaker fluent in English, which I learned as a second language. Drawing from my own bilingual journey, I'm eager to share the effective tools and tips that helped me master English.

For the past 15 years, I have refined my teaching methodology through a variety of class settings and educational environments. My expertise includes a diverse range of tailored courses: language and cultural immersion for children aged 6-12; interactive sessions that combine Italian language lessons with cultural and culinary experiences for all ages; conversational Italian classes tailored to individual needs; academic lectures at Lake Michigan College; and foundational Italian at Lincoln Elementary School.

Additionally, I have taught English to my children and now extend this legacy to the new generation of my family, providing online lessons to my grandchildren and nephews in Italy.

I look forward to helping you embark on your language-learning journey. Ciao, a presto!
