You will also gain an insight into the culture and customs of Italy. You will be encouraged to use Italian as much as possible. A variety of teaching methods will be used to give you the opportunity to use the language. You will be encouraged to interact with your fellow students in group work and role play. Topic areas can be negotiated between you and your teacher depending on the general level of the group.
