Scuola di lingua italiana a Salerno

Italian language Course Levels

Group Courses and private lessons are available throughout the year. All courses can be attended for periods of one week or longer. There are four lessons a day, Monday through Friday. Each lesson is 55 minutes long. 6 levels have been determined and based on The Common European Framework of Reference for Language. After the completion of an exam that will determine the student's Italian linguistic knowledge, every student will be assigned to the appropriate level which will be in conjunction with the course program chosen by the student. Each class has a minimum of 3 participants and a maximum of 12. If there should be only 1 or 2 participants in a certain course/level, the number of hours will be reduced to two hours a day.
