The
Language Centre of the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia
offers Italian Language Courses for foreign language students.
These courses are designed to improve students’ general
language skills and to help prepare them for participation
in the academic and other activities important to them during
their stay in Modena.
Courses are offered at three levels: Beginner, Intermediate,
and Advanced. At the beginning of each semester students take
a Placement Test and are assigned to a course. Complete beginners
can attend extra lessons before the start of both semesters.
Courses run over two semesters for a total of 70
hours per semester: Semester I (September – December);
Semester II (January – May). In each semester courses
start with three 3-hour-lessons
per week for the first two weeks, and continue with two
2-hour-lessons per week. Each course comprises 50
hours of language work (grammar consolidation and skills
improvement) and 10 hours dedicated to “cultural”
aspects of life in Modena (history, music, cooking).
At the end of each semester students can take an examination
comprising a written and oral component.
Students are expected to attend classes regularly. Attendance
is compulsory for students wishing to receive a credit certificate.
Other language resources available at the Language Centre
include:
- a Language Advisor;
- multimedia and paper base language resources in the Self-Access
Room, open from 10.00 to 17.00 Monday to Friday;
- enrolment in the Tandem Language Study Programme which
organises one-to-one language exchanges between Italian
and foreign language students.
Courses are free and open to University students (undergraduates
and postgraduates) and researchers studying as part of
Overseas Research Programmes at the University of Modena
and Reggio Emilia.
