Course overview
The focus of this course is on getting a good understanding of Italian language and also giving students an insight into the world of Italian fashion.
Italian language module
The aim of this excellent Italian language module is to increase your confidence in Italian, help you begin to learn Italian if you have no Italian so that you can enjoy and be confident in the fashion aspect of the course. The ultimate goal is to consolidate your knowledge and fluency.
Study is in a small group and covers all aspects of the Italian language. There is a particular emphasis on developing communicative skills in speaking and writing.
Fashion module
The fashion element of the course is aimed at all those wanting to get in touch with the world of Italian fashion.
The course will help you understand the design process of a collection over a short period of time. No previous experience of fashion is necessary
Teaching methodology
Each group is taught by two teachers a day in order to ensure more varied and stimulating instruction. Each level can be completed in 4 weeks. At the end of each course after successful completion of a test you can progress to the next level.
Classes are lively, stimulating and most of all enjoyable. Students are provided with useful vocabulary and relevant grammar presented in a modern and interesting way.
We estimate that each level can be completed in around four weeks. On successful completion of a language test you can then go on to take the next level.
