The Italian Intermediate course allows participants to describe past and future events with a chronology, describe an outfit in details, to exchange emails in Italian on various topics, to use the Italian web pages for information and conversations, to describe past and future holidays in details. A book will be recommended, magazine articles, audio tracks and videos extracts provided.
Participants will build short narratives with greater confidence, relate events, incidents or accidents, make telephone conversations, they will narrate and give their opinion about how things used to be, plan activities for the coming weeks, and organize projects. It means for tenses that they will review the present tense, the perfect and the imperfect past tenses, and future and apply progressively the pluperfect, the conditional and some subjunctive.

Topics: - Describe someone’s outfit - Describe a past holiday - Describe what someone is doing as we speak

Entry criteria
This course is designed for students who studied Italian for about two academic years and learnt to speak at the present, past tense tenses and future with some knowledge of conditional. Students should be able from the start to describe their weekly routine, to talk about their habits and their hobbies, analyse a few characters, provide opinions and express thoughts. The standard approximates to Level A2 in terms of the Common European Framework.

Courses can fill fast, so please enrol early to avoid disappointment. Decisions on whether a course is to run are made two weeks prior to the start date - an email will be sent to you should there be changes to your course or if it is cancelled. Please check your inbox leading up to your course, including the junk folders. For anyone without an email account, our Admissions team will phone you instead.

For the first week of the course you will need to bring a valid form of identification; this includes passport, driving licence, debit/credit card, Birth Certificate or National Insurance card.

Please note - you should be 19 years old or over at 31st August 2024 prior to starting the course.

Fee information
A text book is used to accompany the course but it is optional to buy this (average cost £20 - £25). The text book will support your learning for at least 1 year. You may also like to buy a small dictionary. Your tutor will be able to advise you at the first session.

Courses offered by the college are fully or partly funded by the Government and the published fee takes account of this funding.

Before starting a course, the College is required to check you meet conditions relating to that funding, e.g. age, residency status within the UK/EEA, prior qualification level and employment status. In some circumstances (such as with online enrolments), these checks can only be completed after you have enrolled and paid.

If you are unable to pay in full for this course at the time of enrolment, and the course tuition fee is £300 or more, an instalment plan is available. If this is your preference, please do not enrol online but rather call the Admissions Team on 01235 216400 to enrol.

Once enrolled, Admissions will take the first instalment payment from you and pass on your details to the Finance team who will email you to set-up your payment plan. Please return a fully completed instalment plan to Finance as failure to do so could result in being withdrawn from your course.

The rules on fee reduction are complicated, we would encourage you to talk to our Admissions Team on 01235 216400 to discuss these options. You can find more information on our Fees and Bursaries page - search "Fees and Bursaries" at the top of the page.
