| Ciao Italia was founded by accredited teachers working in this
field for more than fifteen years. The school is located in the
historic centre of Rome, in the characteristic district of Monti,
within walking distance of the Colosseum, the Fori, Via Nazionale
and the Central Railway Station.
Ciao Italia is a centre that specialises in teaching Italian
to foreigners. It is a member of ASILS (Association of Language
Schools of Italian as a Foreign Language) and ELITE (European
Federation of Associations for Teaching Mother Tongue to Foreign
Students). The school has been recognised by the Bildungsurlaub
of Hamburg and Frankfurt and it is included in the list of schools
of Italian of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Ciao Italia is open the whole year round and offers courses
for all levels from beginners to advanced: group courses (maximum
12 students), individual teaching, business, art and painting
vacation courses in Tuscany. On arrival students take an entry
test and are placed in classes according to their levels and
their particular needs.
The school organises many free of charge activities: Italian
movies with introduction, lectures, parties, lunches with teachers,
nights in typical clubs, wine tasting at the school, guided tours
by an art historian as well as special prices for theatres, opera,
concerts, restaurants and sports-clubs. Cooking courses (not
professional) in a private house.
The library, the videotheque and Internet facilities are available
for the students in the afternoon.
The didactic methods used by CiaoItalia are the result of the
director and teachers' extensive experience in the field. The
relaxed and friendly atmosphere encourages quick and easy learning
of the language. The teachers, all native speakers, are highly
qualified in the teaching of Italian as a second language. Each
teacher uses the communicative approach with an analysis of grammatical
structures and the language of daily life. Thanks to the teachers’ professional
approach and enthusiasm, learning Italian will not only be rewarding
but also fun.
The teaching structure breaks down into 5 levels:
Level 1, for absolute beginners
Level 2, elementary: for those who have some basic knowledge
Level 3, pre-intermediate: more complex sentences and terms
Level 4, intermediate: higher comprehension of spoken and written Italian
Level 5*, advanced: is for students who have a good knowledge of the language
*prepares students for the University entrance exam or the I.T.
(Università di Roma Tre) and C.I.L.S. (Università per
Stranieri di Siena)
The students will study in small groups of 2-12 with people
of different nationalities who have a similar language level.
The small size of the classes guarantees particular attention
as well as a high quality of teaching. Each lesson lasts for
55 minutes.
