About this course
This Italian conversation course centres on spoken interaction rather than formal grammar study. Each week introduces new discussion topics, with questions, opinion prompts and short exercises used to develop conversation.

Pair work, group activities, role plays, games, presentations, handouts and audio-visual resources support the sessions. Topics and vocabulary can be adapted to the interests of the class, with attention to spoken accuracy and fluency.
