Sicily
Babilonia
Our courses of Italian are held in our Italian language school located in the heart of Taormina. Our Italian language course program has been developed from a communicative based approach and focuses on the four language abilities (listening, speaking, reading, writing). The anaytical activities includes controlled oral and written production, while the communicative tasks involve listening and reading comprehension and free oral and written activities. The instructors rotate weekly to add variety and interest to the group dynamic. Grammatical structures are presented in order of frequency and relative complexity. The material is always introduced in some form of authentic text (newspaper or magazine article, taped dialogue, video-taped situation, letter, short story, etc.). Progress is monitored and all teachers meet weekly to facilitate organization and ensure proper student placement.

Here's the innovative idea of halisaClub: study Italian in a "context of learning" similar to that of the ancient Greek "Gimnasium"! You won't take lessons in traditional, boring classrooms, Instead you'll find our teachers in "halisaClub's didactic areas" outdoors, near the guest residences for halisaClub's students by the sea. With the School without walls you'll stay with us very often, even beyond your lessons; in this way we'll help you to learn Italian with a technique called "continuous learning", and you'll spend your vacation in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere with dinners, group activities, cultural excursions and many other initiatives!

The courses are divided into four levels, each lesson lasts 45 minutes and the maximum number of students in each class is 7-9. Our methods, using modern teaching techniques, are aimed towards developing the ability to communicate both orally and in written form. Several teachers are involved in each course, in order to provide the students with the opportunity to experience various teaching methods and spoken accents. In order to relate the learning of the language to the Italian culture itself, our school organises seminars on several topics such as Italian art, history, cinema, music, cooking and traditions.
