"relaxing online conversational sessions"

Why is it called “caffè italiano”?

It is essential to feel relaxed, comfortable and eager to have a good time. The title makes reference to a moment of relaxation, enjoying something with a friend in an Italian “Caffè”. Spontaneity is the first objective we try to achieve with these online sessions, since a language is a tool to communicate our thoughts.

What we offer?

With this activity you will improve all aspects of your spoken language skills: spontaneity, efficiency when interacting, improvement when using grammar structures, vocabulary accuracy, pronunciation and intonation, and typical Italian gestures.

How it works?

• First of all, the student is asked to relax.
• The tutor introduces some stimuli in the form of inputs. These can be evocative images, videos, texts, songs, or even some words.
• The student is asked to express his/her ideas, transforming his/her thoughts into words.
• Teaching methods work in the same way, by reinforcing the language structures by putting them into practice.
• When the session is over, and when appropriate, the tutor and the student will analyse some expressions or structures in order to fix them properly.
• The student suggests a topic for the following lesson (food, culture, art, leisure, news, cinema…).
