What does it mean to study the Italian culture and why study it

“Per insegnare bisogna emozionare. Molti però pensano ancora che se ti diverti non impari.”
Maria Montessori

Doing the Italian culture course means being enriched with new tools for human, psychological, cultural, professional and linguistic growth. We will analyze various interesting topics of the Italian cultural scene: art, cinema, literature, gastronomy (cooking, olive oil, wine), and music. During the Italian culture course we will analyze interesting aspects of the culture and Italian mentality with a deep anthropological and sociological analysis.

The didactic method used to teach the Italian culture: it is a "collaborative learning" method where everyone with his/her own capacity is free to express a point of view and so to contribute to the topic of discussion. Students are continuously encouraged by the teacher through questions and activities to reconstruct and build together the contents of the cultural topics.
The type of lesson that is not used is lecture style in which only the teacher speaks and the students listen. Our method is very communicative, so students are encouraged to use a lot of the Italian language. Through the study of the Italian culture students will engage in a lot of conversation!
