Ever thought to take a Gap Year?
You are absolutely in time to take such a decision. The School Leonardo da Vinci again this year organizes the
“Academic School Year” or “Gap Year” courses in its Italian language schools located in the most beautiful and charming cities in Italy: Florence, Milan, Rome and Siena.
The “Academic School Year” is an Italian language course, thought for beginner and elementary students, which lasts for 32 weeks and leads to the internationally-recognized
AIL (Accademia Italiana di Lingua) diplomas (DILI-Intermediate and DALI-Advanced).
Needless to say, lessons are only planned in Italian from the very start to allow you an easier comprehension and to make you be at ease. Our study program was carefully thought to integrate speaking and writing skills, but without missing out important cultural components.
At first, you will attend a
Standard Course focused on language, grammar and daily conversation, and subsequently, in the month before the exam, there will be additional lessons of preparation for the DILI-examination of AIL.
During the second term your horizons will widen. The Standard Course, now with a greater emphasis on the written language, will continue and will be concluded after a further 240 lessons, inclusive of a further four weeks of DALI-exam preparation. In addition, the program broadens to include general culture lessons.
The general culture unit includes lessons on topics related to the Italian culture, such as history of art, business and current affairs, fashion and design, Italian history and civilization. At the end of the course, we will ask you to write a final essay on a topic related to Italian culture (Italian art, history and business) and this task will be made easier by 10 lessons of private tutoring to prepare your essay.
Starting dates for the next Academic School Year Course are now available, so why don’t you have a look at our website?
