Intensive Course

The Intensive Language Course of the ILI School puts you at the centre of the lesson. We enhance and utilise your experiences, your needs, the styles and motivations that you bring to the class.

Our didactic approach is immersive and is being updated with the Digital Skills. We’ll employ all the means you use in your daily experience to guide you in the learning of Italian: the smartphone and the network as a didactic support.

Immediacy and sharing: connecting to cyber-reality to enhance the real one and to succeed in achieving you goals.

We offer you a free access to the Digital Skills.

Classroom working

Depending on your initial level, the course offers the possibility to reach all levels of linguistic competence within the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages: A1-A2-B1-B2-C1-C2.

To whom it is addressed

The course is designed for adults of all ages, all backgrounds and all levels who wish to learn the Italian language, as well being directed towards companies wanting to train their collaborators in the Italian language.

Frequency

The course is divided into 4-week modules, however it is possible to customise the frequency over more weeks or on a yearly basis for those who need a long-term programme (for example, for a study visa).

Timetables

Morning: Monday to Friday 8:50 am – 12:25 pm (50-minute lessons).

Each lesson lasts 50 minutes. For classes of less than 7 students, a reduction in hours may be applied.

Classes

The ILI School pays particular attention to the quality of teaching and the specificity of each individual student, hence our classes have a limited number of participants.

The course provides lessons that are tailored to the actual level of the group, with differentiated teaching and attention to individual needs, having the aim of enhancing the competency of each and every student.

Cost

1 week: CHF 390.-
2 week: CHF 690.-
3 week: CHF 960.-
4 week: CHF 1’190.-
Digital Skills, 4 weeks: CHF 200.- (free for new enrollments)

Prices applicable on consecutive weeks within the monthly lesson plan.

Educational Programme

The teaching methodologies used in the courses are specific to the communicative/situational approaches and allow for the improvement of all language skills through techniques for the development of linguistic processes.

The intensive course programme includes situational, cultural and recreational lessons that take place in real contexts (for example, during a visit to an exhibition, taking part in a treasure hunt, and so on).

Learning the language is promoted by developing the student’s autonomy, with the programme including situational activities that aim to apply the language skills in ‘real life’ contexts, transmitted through interacts with people, stores, offices and other institutions outside the school.

Admittance Test

To enrol in the ILI Courses, the student will have to complete an entrance test that allows the ILI School to evaluate the initial level of the individual in relation to the prerequisites required to attend the course. The entrance test is compulsory for all persons enrolled.

Read more

The entrance test is divided into two parts:

a) First written component

The written test allows for a verification of:

  • the level of written comprehension (which may not correspond to the level of knowledge of grammatical structures, or to the competency in writing);
  • the level of knowledge of grammatical structures;
  • the skill level in written production.

b) Second oral component

The interview, which takes place after the written test, aims at a global evaluation of the candidate.

Determined throughout the interview is:

  • the data resulting from the written test;
  • an evaluation of oral comprehension and production;
  • a verification of the applicant’s current understanding of language skills;
  • a determination of the candidate’s objectives.

At this point, we will recommend the training course that is best suited to the candidate’s knowledge and needs by directing them towards a module that takes into account:
1) of the linguistic level A, B, C;
2) of the level of competence in the different language skills;
3) of the needs expressed.

I arrived here 4 months ago in the beautiful city of Lugano with very little Italian and a huge mission to learn as quickly as possible for work. With the commitment and enthusiasm of the wonderful teachers at the school, it has been possible to start work as a doctor, albeit very challenging, and the guys continue to laugh at my regular mistakes but inspire me to learn and communicate in a calm and encouraging environment! What a wonderful experience with very important friendships made.

I liked that we also got to interact with oher classes because it allowed us to communicate more in italian as we would in the outside world. The teachers are also patient and attend to cure individual needs as students.

Mein Name ist Mirjam. Ich komme von Winterthur, aus der Schweiz. Ich verbrachte zwei Wochen Ferien in Lugano, in der Ferienwohnung meiner Eltern. Mit der ILI Sprachschule (Intensivkurs am Morgen) habe ich eine gute Erfahrung gemacht. Ich denke, ich konnte mein Italienisch verbessern. Auch waren die beiden Lehrerinnen, die ich hatte sowie die Leute im Sekretariat sehr nett. Il mio nome è Mirjam. Vengo da Winterthur, in Svizzera. Sono stata a Lugano per due settimane di vacanza, nella casa di vacanza dei miei genitori. Con la scuola di lingua ILI (corsi intensivi della mattina), ho fatto una buona esperienza. Penso di aver potuto migliorare il mio italiano. Inoltre le due insegnanti che ho avuto e il personale della segreteria erano molto gentili.
