Italian Language and Culture Program – Levels B2/B2

Spring Semester B2/B2 Italian Language Program – Advanced Intermediate

unistrapg logosmall150PXThe Spring semester Direct Enrollment: University for Foreigners program consists of two separate courses as follows:

3-month course – January through March (Level B2)
1-month course – April (Level B2)

This program is for intermediate students who start their Italian language learning at the Common European Framework Level B2 (second level intermediate), and after completing the three-month course, continue to study at the Level B2 for remaining the one-month course.

This program is taught entirely in Italian with the majority of the program taught at the Università per Stranieri di Perugia, and two tutorial hours per week at the Umbra Institute.

Italian language: 12 hours
Aspects of Italian culture: 6 hours
