Each student introduces him/herself and participate in the conversation with the teacher. The conversation will be about the topics presented in the lessons (see schedule in the Calendar; please note: the schedule may be subject to change).

 

The Class Forum is accessible online at anytime. Students post questions and assignments in the Class Forum, receive answers and corrections, and interact with the teacher and with other students.

• Specific approach for the Tutored Courses:

Through the presence of a teacher, who can monitor and evaluate the student's practice every week, students follow an online structured and guided course with 12 asynchronous sessions, interactive lessons, audio/video group lessons, grades, certifications, encouragement, support and personalized feedback from their teacher.

• General guidelines on method:

The CyberItalian Method is based on a program developed for the United Nations in New York. It offers different learning itineraries, gradually presenting the basic, intermediate, and advanced structures of Italian language. The aim of our method is to provide students with the tools to both learn the language and learn how to learn it, so that the students become independent in discovering the mechanisms of the language and deciding how to study and practice. Some students may prefer a playful and communicative approach, others prefer a rational, traditional, or grammatical approach: our method provide all these aspects. The combination of elements (different learning itineraries, online interactive lessons, enjoyment, culture, pronunciation guides, progress reports, exercises, grammar, audio, videos, articles, chats, links, interaction with a teacher...) creates a solid background to start learning and practicing the Italian language.

 

CyberItalian professors and teachers are native speakers, highly qualified professionals dedicated to the promotion of the Italian language and culture.
