My Italian language lessons are tailor-made for the students. The learner is the core around which every lesson is organised, built and carried out. I am especially prone to set an open and comfortable class ambiance. Moreover, I opt for an approach based on the exclusive use of the Italian language. Students are encouraged to use only Italian in the lessons. They dispose of a lot of room during each class to speak, intervene, express themselves and complete the exercises. In view of the first lesson, students are provided with a questionnaire aimed at identifying the needs and interests of the learner: all the sessions will be conceived on such elements.
The lessons are designed starting from a text (a song, an excerpt from a book, a poster, a blog, etc.). Afterwards, the session is organised in four phases:
- Globality / motivation: this is the initial part of the lesson that motivates and approaches the student to the topic further analysed. A few exercises are here proposed to suggest the topic of the lesson, the lexicon, and the grammatical structures that will be taught.
- Comprehension: the text is presented and read, carrying out exercises on its general and specific understanding.
- Analysis: grammar structures are explained and exercises are carried out on lexicon, grammar, and particular functions present in the text and pointed out to the student.
- Summary: what has been learned is reused in written and, above all, oral exercises.
- In conclusion, the teacher can decide to assign homework. During the last lesson, students are asked to fill a second questionnaire. This will prove useful and necessary for them to test the accomplished language level.
