The Language
CLIDA's main business remains teaching the Italian language for
foreigners and therefore our experience in this field has no precedence.
We can offer short and long term courses in either Survival Italian
or fully extended Italian language courses. CLIDA can also offer
preliminary Italian language immersion courses prior to commencing
their academic semester. The professors have the ability to translate
theory into practical application and deal with cross cultural mixes.
Credits for these courses can be examined by each university.
Survival
Italian
This course is a fun Italian language course aimed at teaching the
student basic phrases pertinent to a brief stay in Italy. The lessons
normally span from 3 to 4 lessons per week. Times are coordinated
together with each program to ensure that lessons do not coincide
with each other.
Special Course for teachers who teach the Italian language abroad
as a second langauge
These courses are designed for graduate students or teachers who
wish to teach the Italian language as a second language in their
country and who need to acquire the proper skills in order to successfully
relay language methods and concepts. The course covers:
- How to evaluate
students and perceive their linguistic needs
- Analysis
of the language and language mutation.
- Italian language
reading material and workbooks
- Supervising
a language laboratory
- Phonetics
- Tandem practical
teaching in classrooms
An excellent
way for students to experience life in Italy is by participating
in our "Two Cities, One Language" program. The idea of the program
is to provide students with a fuller understanding of the regional
differences in Italy, while learning Italian in two of the world's
most historical cities.
In general, the students start the program by spending three months
in Florence and then a further three months at our center in Rome.
This is a wonderful way to acclimate one's self to Italian living.
Shorter study periods are also possible and this program is offered
all year round.

"Before Coming to CLIDA, I had never taken a foreign language class, however after a month of classes, I realized how much I had forgotten about Enlgish, my mother tongue, and learned so much about Italian. Had my prior educational experience encouraged studying a foreign language, I would really be ahead in life today." -Titanya
