Italian Course Descriptions for Youth

Step into the world of Italian, the language of music, fashion, art, genius, and of course, gelato! This exciting new program is designed to introduce children to one of the most beloved languages in the world, while laying the foundation for future opportunities and cultural exploration.

No prior knowledge of Italian? No problem! This course is perfect for beginners. Children will learn to understand and use everyday expressions and basic phrases to meet simple needs. They'll be able to introduce themselves and others, ask and answer questions about where they live, who they know, and what they have. With support, they’ll begin to engage in simple conversations in Italian.

Learning is made fun and effective through a variety of interactive activities, games, and collaborative exercises. Our approach encourages curiosity, builds confidence, and makes language learning a joyful experience.

This course is designed for children who are native Italian speakers, who regularly speak Italian at home, but who are not formally educated in the language or require targeted support.

The primary goal is to establish a strong foundation in Italian literacy. Experience in multilingual education has shown that the Italian language possesses specific features that must be addressed through a structured and thoughtful approach.

The course focuses particularly on developing reading and writing skills, while also incorporating other language competencies. The aim is to strengthen the child’s command of Italian, providing reliable tools and greater confidence on which to build their linguistic journey as native speakers.

This course is designed for Italian native-speaking children aged 9 to 14 who regularly speak Italian at home. Its goal is to develop language skills that are less commonly practiced in a family setting, such as reading comprehension, writing, and foundational grammar, essential for effective communication.

Taking into account the multilingual environment in which students live, the course aims to strengthen reading and writing abilities through a structured program focused on language consolidation.

The course includes reading sessions, text analysis, writing workshops, and grammar activities, exploring a variety of text types. By the end of the course, students will have enhanced their expressive abilities and gained greater confidence in Italian.

Lessons will be adapted according to the students’ age and actual proficiency level.
Teaching materials will be carefully selected and organized to meet the specific needs of the group.
