italian grammar program of the one-to-one courses
The one-to-one courses are divided in ten levels: from the first one, for beginners, to the tenth in which the complete command of the language has been achieved. The Italian grammar program of our language courses is never rigid nor the same for everyone. We establish a personal plan of study in order to allow every single person to reach the goals she or he desires.
Following you can find an overview on the 10 levels of knowledge, each one with its objectives and grammar content. The table gives you an idea of where you are standing with your level. The lessons are based on these structures and objectives, while the teaching approach is chosen according to student’s characteristics and the exact studying program is established according to the student’s daily results. Our teachers only go ahead with the Italian grammar program once the student is able to apply the learned structures. Otherwise, there is the risk that the student gets overwhelmed and confused by a lot of theory, but is not able to put it into practise.
The times involved in order to complete one level are quite individual and depend on the student’s age, motivation, linguistic knowledge as well as ability to learn languages. Our experience showed us that it usually varies from 1-3 weeks to complete one level.
