Lessons

The Rome 50 Plus Language Learning Holiday course focuses on using Italian in everyday situations. You’ll be learning to speak Italian quickly and will have numerous opportunities to use the language on activities, excursions, and of course, out on your own. A wide variety of up-to-date authentic material is used in class, where the main focus is on speaking and active learning rather than on passive receptivity.

Teachers

The school has several teachers who have been teaching in the school for an average of 10 years. One hour per week of each teacher's contract hours is devoted to teacher training in order to continually improve teaching techniques.  This is reflected by the high level of professionalism and responsibility of the teachers towards the school and all the students.
