Learning Italian through the movies - till the end of May 2012

 

Suitable for students from level B1.

 
The vision of films for students of Italian language is always a very motivating activity, it facilitates understanding, helps the analysis of language and shows aspects of life and culture. We have therefore created an annual course that uses the images and the script of the films to develop and improve students' communicative competence.

Each film will be dedicated to 2 or 3 sessions (depending on length of the film) of 1.5 hours.

 

During this sessions, in addition to the vision and analysis of extracts from the movie, students will be involved in activities related to the characters, the environment, language and will be provided with information about the author, the director, actors and places.
