In the Preliminary Course, students continue to develop their Italian language skills while deepening their understanding of various aspects of the language and culture of Italian-speaking communities. They explore topics such as personal identity, family, celebrations, and technology, using these themes as a context for exchanging information, opinions, and personal experiences. Students further refine their ability to analyse and respond to Italian texts and produce both written and spoken work in the language. They also strengthen their grasp of Italian grammar and are encouraged to expand their vocabulary through the online learning platform Education Perfect.
