Hello!
Language Center is a language center newly opened in
the center of Cascina, a small town a few kilometers from
Pisa, in the heart of Tuscany.
Its big classrooms full of light and colors, very comfortable
and well equipped with modern multimedia tools, offer a great
environment where small groups and individual courses are
organized both for children and adults. All teachers at the
Center are highly qualified native speakers.
The teachers use the communicative
approach which encourages and allows the development of the
four abilities (speaking, listening, reading and writing)
speaking from the very first lesson only the foreign language
studied in the course. Students are put into "real life"
situations and stimulated to communicate in an effective way.
The Language Center is equipped
with a very well organized Self
Learning Center where students can develop or strengthen
a particular ability or weak area autonomously with the supervision
of a teacher. It is therefore possible to personalize courses
satisfying individual needs. The Language Center is also equipped
with a library from which the students can borrow books, video
cassettes, magazines and newspapers.
The Language Center organizes
courses of Italian for foreigners.
It also helps the students in finding accomodation and in
organizing their stay in Italy. It offers special courses
to let the students get closer to the true Italian lifestyle
(Italian Cuisine courses, Art History courses, Italian Cinema
courses, etc) and it organizes visits to museums, interesting
sites, various towns in Tuscany, and short stays in green
farms where it is possible to take part into the making of
regional products (cheese, bread, wine, etc).
We also organize company
courses and do translating and interpreting work.
