I
NOSTRI STUDENTI
The students in our Italian language courses
range in age from 18 to 80 years and represent many differenti
cultures and backgrounds. We welcome this diversità
and encourage cross-cultural exchange and learning whenever possible.
We believe this makes for a more interesting and enjoyable experience
for everyone.
While we do host some university students, we have a large number
of adult professionals who choose to participate in our program, frequently
combining vacation and language learning. Our school of Italian also has many
adulti students
simply enjoying a well-earned extended stay to immerse themselves
completely in the Italian language and culture. Our courses assist
in adding the right amount of structure and connection to those pursuing
both long and short-term stays in Sicily.
Our students come as individuals, couples, and occasionally
in groups. We have even offered, on request, special group courses
for entire families and even gruppi of children who want to learn
Italian. The only requirement is the desire to learn. Our teaching
methods, materials, activities, and tasks are generally varied to
each group level to be most appropriate to their nature of learning.
Of course, many of our students in our Italian language programs
come from the European Union, yet many vengono
from as far away as Australia, Canada, Japan, the United States and
Eastern European countries.
Each student
is asked to complete a questionnaire on the last day of class. This questionario asks students to make detailed
comments on the complete program: classes, methods, materials, teachers,
school office, activities, and accommodations. We also ask students
to make recommendations and to share any other ideas or
comments to improve the experience for future
visits. We, at Babilonia, values
student feedback.
