Description

What are the contents and objectives of the course?

The lessons will help you become familiar with the structure of the exam and strengthen the skills you need to succeed: reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Under the guidance of an experienced teacher, you will identify your weak points, remedy your shortcomings and prepare effectively for the exam. You will practise with real exams and learn exactly what each task requires. You will also learn how to manage your time during the exam, which will help you feel more confident and relaxed on exam day. The grammar and vocabulary content will be tailored to the level of the exam you are preparing for.

How does the course work?

In the Italian course to prepare for the CILS certification, you will be part of a group of up to 10 people. We will provide you with the exams and all the necessary materials. The teacher will use an iPad, and after each class, you will receive a PDF with the contents, a very useful resource when doing your homework. Each week, you will have some independent study assignments and other activities to complete in class under the teacher’s supervision.
