Description

What are the contents and objectives of the course?

The lessons will help you become familiar with the exam structure and strengthen the skills you need to succeed — reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Under the guidance of an experienced teacher, you’ll identify your weaker areas, fill in any gaps, and prepare effectively for the exam. You’ll practice with real exam papers and learn exactly what each task requires. You’ll also learn how to manage your time during the exam, helping you feel more confident and relaxed on exam day. The grammatical and lexical content will be tailored to the level of the exam you’re preparing for.

How does the course work?

For the Italian course preparing for the CILS certification, you’ll be in a group of up to 10 people. We’ll provide you with exam papers and all the necessary materials. The teacher will use an iPad, and after each lesson, you’ll receive a PDF with the contents covered — a useful resource for your homework. Each week, you’ll have some independent study tasks and other activities to complete in class under the teacher’s supervision.
settimana avrai una parte di lavoro da fare in autonomia e una parte di lavoro da fare in classe sotto la supervisione dell’insegnante.
