Course structure

The course commences on 1 February 2016 and ends on 30 September 2016; it consists of 5 teaching modules that are taught at Edulingua and Unimc:

-          SECTION 1 (level A0/A1) 8 weeks (1 February – 25 March 2016) - Edulingua

-          SECTION 2 (level A1+): 6 weeks (4 April – 13 May 2016) – Edulingua

-          SECTION 3 (level A2): 6 weeks (16 May – 24 June 2016) – Edulingua

-          SECTION 5 (level B2): 6 weeks (22 August – 30 September 2016) – Unimc

Furthermore: section 1, which will take place at the Edulingua centre, is specifically aimed at Chinese students, so as to enable an initial gradual contact with Italian language and culture.  Students having a level of Italian that is equal to or higher than the A1 level may access the subsequent level directly, by presenting a certificate of the language level in their possession or by taking a remote Italian test.

Furthermore: at the premises of Unimc, in parallel with sections 4 and 5 of the course, it is possible to take one or more thematic language courses, each lasting 24 hours, on specialised themes such as Italian Literature, Art and Architecture, Music and Opera, Food, Wine and Tourism, Law, Design. These courses are conducted according to the CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) method, and provide lessons and workshops with the support of teachers from the University of Macerata and experts from the field.

What’s more: during the summer break (6-21 August), students who are enrolled in the entire course can take a personalised language reinforcement course online that is monitored remotely by an expert teacher.

What’s more: for the entire duration of the course, students will be able to refer to an Italian language teacher who will provide them with the necessary language assistance both with their personal presence and remotely (“Teacher’s Desk”).
