The Accademia di Cultura Italiana offers online Italian language courses aimed at students of all levels, from absolute beginner A0 to advanced level C2, in accordance with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). The courses are structured to support each student throughout their learning journey, from the fundamentals of the language to the refinement of advanced linguistic skills. Lessons are conducted entirely online, ensuring flexibility and accessibility from anywhere in the world, and offering the possibility to choose between live courses with native-speaking teachers in a synchronous format and self-study programmes with interactive learning materials and recorded lessons in an asynchronous format.
The courses adopt a communicative and interactive approach, combining theory and practice through activities aimed at developing oral and written comprehension and production, simulations of real-life situations and role-playing, listening and pronunciation exercises supported by multimedia tools, and the use of authentic materials such as texts, videos, and podcasts. Among the various types of courses available are standard courses with progressive programmes of variable duration, both intensive and regular; individual or group lessons that can be tailored to the student’s needs; specialised courses such as Italian for business and Italian for tourism; as well as workshops and cultural laboratories designed to explore topics related to literature, art, cinema, and Italian cuisine.
At the end of the course, a certificate of attendance is issued.
