DITALS II Preparation
This course is designed for participation by both Italians and foreigners wishing to approach the profession of teaching Italian as a second language. The course fills the gap often left by academic preparation, which separates knowledge of the language and culture and theories of linguistic didacticism from the reality of the classroom. This gap leaves many potential teachers without the necessary tools to impart their knowledge of the language in a learning context which takes the communicative approach from theory to practice.
The course is recognized by the DITALS Department of the University for Foreigners in Siena (Università per Stranieri di Siena) as valid to be allowed to take the DITALS I and DITALS II exam.
Upon passing the DITALS II exam, participants will be qualified to teach Italian.
The course has a duration of 4 weeks, morning and afternoon, plus a further two weeks of in-class activities.
This course is an initial training course.
