Teachers and instructors are encouraging and motivating to help students develop Italian skills. On arrival on Sunday, if the student has some Italian knowledge, an Italian entry test will be given so that the school can place the student in classes according to the appropriate level of knowledge of Italian and the student's age. Linguaviva has designed courses for students with different Italian skills from beginner to advanced. Italian lessons involve speaking, listening, reading and writing in lively and informal small classes with no more than 12 students in a group. Teachers are all highly qualified and are carefully selected for their experience in teaching young learners.
Lunch is provided.
Language placement tests and orientation take place in the afternoon, as well as a presentation of the weekly workshops and activities available, to be followed by a Welcome Party. Students can choose from a wide range of sports and creative activities according to taste and interests. Once a week there will be a full day excursion. Destinations are carefully chosen to be of great interest to the different age groups and to develop the students' understanding of the country. All excursions included accompaniment by experienced member of staff.
