The aim is for students to reach a good level of language and a knowledge of the business terminology in order to be operative on the workplace. The student will be able to deal with everyday situations, covering the four linguistic skills:
- reading (reading and sufficient level of phonology)
- speaking (pronunciation and ability to interact verbally)
- understanding of written texts (interpretation of texts)
- written (capacity to write basic texts covering the various communicative functions)

The student is able to use the language in a more structured way and has a good knowledge of business terminology and business skills.  He/she can  write short texts that include connectors and is able to take part and interact in more complex conversations, also within the business world. He/she can understand  fairly complex business texts and can write specific documents, such as letters and CVs.

The method consists of  video-lessons and virtual specifically aimed at teaching adult Italian speakers (taking into consideration that there are also non-native Italian speakers). Focus will be placed on the differences and similarities between the two languages, and innovative tools based on cognitive didactics are used. The students will play an active role in the interactive lessons with group and individual exercises. Reference will be constantly made to the parameters of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.

The oral examination consists of the discussion of a topic chosen by the student and agreed upon with the teacher (powerpoint presentation, report, article, etc.).

Important: to be able to access the exam you must have seen at least 60% of the videos and have done 50% of the exercises.
