Teaching Methods
A conversational approach forms the basis of our business Italian courses, with the emphasis on fluent oral communication and the development of a wide vocabulary. Students are given written exercises or audio cassettes to consolidate what they have been taught during a class. The format of the courses enables students to assimilate material easily.
Tuition is offered in a variety of forms: as an intensive course, a long term programme, with individual or group lessons to suit your own requirements.
The aim of NIT is to emphasise practical competence. NIT teachers integrate the appropriate business, cultural and professional backgrounds and familiarise people through role play with the very situations they are likely to encounter. Topics of interest are introduced within a functional framework, Newspapers, magazines, films, television programmes and cassettes are used to ensure that students are familiar with regional variations and up-to-date professional terminology.
