METHOD

Home | Method

Our school of Italian for foreigners offers a method based on the centrality of the learner and on real communication. To this purpose we apply an integrated approach consisting of all modern language teaching techniques and strategies, useful to pursue the aims of Lucca Italian School, i.e. to meet the real linguistic needs of the students and to be able to personalize the learning process even within a group.

Lucca Italian School considers the language not merely a system of rules, but above all the main tool to communicate, comprehend and express oneself in real contexts, adequately displayed in class through the use of authentic materials and outside through a direct contact with native speakers.

As we are presenting an integrated approach, our method in no way disregards the learning of grammar, syntax, phonology and vocabulary: on the contrary, it is our aim to deepen also these aspects, in order to provide our students with all possible keys to interpret the italian culture while enhancing their communicative competence.
