Italian Language and Culture

Italian Language and Culture (Certificate)

The UBC Certificate in Italian Language and Culture offered by Languages, Culture & Travel has been developed for people working in an Italian milieu, either in the arts or in business, and for those who are interested in learning more about Italian language and culture.

The program consists of five progressive levels of Italian language courses, plus a Cultural or Business Module that may be completed at UBC or in Italy. Participants are assessed at each level in reading, written and oral skills by native Italian-speaking instructors. Participants have up to two years to complete the requirements of the program.

For students who want to learn Italian and at the same time become acquainted with the culture, history, social and political situation of Italy, we suggest the "Italy Today" Course. In addition to the 4 lessons Standard Course in the morning, in the afternoon you will be introduced to art and culture, history and folklore, press and films, as well as the current political and economical situation of Italy. The cultural part of this course consists in 10 supplementary lessons in two weeks. This course is only available for people who have at least an intermediate level of Spanish. The course also requires at least 4 participants. Otherwise you will only be enrolled in the Standard Course.

The duration of this course is two weeks. It is also possible to enrol for periods of one or more weeks.
The classes are formed on the first day of the course after the compilation of a language level test. All the levels are catered for, from beginners to proficiency. Each class has a minimum of two, a maximum of 6 students. Lessons take place in the mornin, Monday to Friday, from 9.00 a.m. to 1.00 p.m. (with a twenty minutes break).

THE PROGRAM:
Morning: 4 hours language lessons from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. with a brief pause of 20 minutes. The desire to include social and cultural information about our country is a strong motivation to learn the language. For this reason, as our land is so rich in nature, archaeology, art, history and traditions, we offer an intense program of cultural activities in the afternoon.
Afternoon: 4 cultural meetings (6 hours/1 week; 12 hours/2 weeks): Italian literature, art history, archaeology, art, song and cinema.

The cultural activities also include:
- 1 all day historical-naturalistic excursion to one of the islands of Tuscan Archipelagos during the first week.
- 1 half day historical-naturalistic excursion during the first week (Natural Park of Maremma, Giardino dei Tarocchi by Niki de Saint Phalle, Spring-waters of Saturnia).
- 1 half day historical-naturalistic excursion during the second week (after a little trek along the coast to swin, you can see an ancient Roman or Etruscan site).

Our courses represent a communicative program, the content of which comes from the realty of everyday life in Italy, and includes the main aspects of its cultural environment. On the first day the participants must take a language test to determine their level and to unable us tohomogeneous classes. Each one of the 5 levels of teaching takes a month to complete; therefore, it is possible to attend for one week till a maximum of 6 months.
