中学・高校向けイタリア語入門 - 初心者

In this course, students will learn the Italian for beginners curriculum through interactive lectures where they will have the opportunity to participate in class discussions and conversations with a partner, all in a relaxed atmosphere. We use presentations with visuals and graphs to introduce the content followed by student's centered activities such as role playing and games. This course does not build on previous topics and learners can join at any time. After the lesson, students may complete a series of optional activities to reinforce the lesson's content. These activities will include a combination of skills: reading, speaking and writing and will not reflect on the following meeting. All instructional materials will be available through the Outschool classroom.

We use colorful visuals, music, games and context clues to facilitate understanding and keep the goals of every lesson simple enough for learners to be able to memorize new words and phrases every session while using them in simple conversations. Fun and age appropriate topics as well as language immersion suited for beginners will translate into fluency.
