This way students can communicate confidently in a variety of situations. The instructors use a communicative method of teaching based on materials which are continually updated to remain current and relevant to the student's experiences. Students learn vocabulary, grammar, and all the other aspects of a real working language using authentic materials which refer to Italian culture and society. Principle techniques include role playing, group projects, research and reporting, debating and discussion. Instructors prepare handouts specifically geared for their classes rather than use a predesignated text, and class size is limited to 10 participants.
