Istituto cultura italiana (NGO)/Language courses

The Institute of Italian culture (NGO) provides courses of Italian language in its classrooms located in M. Kostava st. 68, (at public Georgian Broadcaster, III building, II floor), right besides Heroes square.

Courses are held by qualified Georgian and Italian teachers and benefit from the participation of Italian volunteers within the frame of the Erasmus+ or ESC (European solidarity corps) programme, specifically for conversation and informal language exchange.

Courses are being held in an informal and stimulating atmosphere, with classes composed by a small number of students (an average of 3 for class), every day from 13.00 to 20.00 from Monday to Friday, and are aimed at intercultural exchange, inclusion, and solidarity.

If you are enthusiast of Italian language and culture, and you are interested to participate in an intercultural exchange with native Italian speakers (as well as Georgian qualified teachers and interpreters) in an environment distinguished by the right balance between professionalism, and a sympathetic and friendly atmosphere, feel free to call us at this number: (+995) 598 15 55 77 (Manana Jokharidze) or write at istitutoculturaitaliana@gmail.com to arrange a meeting or to find out more.

Impariamo l'italiano è un corso di lingua italiana erogato e promosso dall'istituto di cultura italiana di Tbilisi.

Metodi d'insegnamento

I metodi d'insegnamento che il corso propone sono vari, se infatti si incomincia con la grammatica, dopo poco si inizia con letture semplici, volte ad ampliare il vocabolario del discente e la sua confidenza con la lingua stessa.

I testi selezionati sono ovviamente semplificati per offrire ai discenti un'esperienza formativa consona e gratificante per loro.

Le letture che vengono proposte possono riguardare anche articoli relativi alla cultura, allo stile di vita e al patrimonio culturale italiano più in generale, non relegando in questo modo il discente ad un piano di lettura strettamente letterario.

L'attività non si esaurisce in classe, infatti a fine di ogni lezione sono assegnati dei compiti che lo studente svolgerà in maniera autonoma e che verranno poi corretti insieme agli insegnanti.

Le lezioni si svolgono tendenzialmente in loco, presso gli uffici della Istituto, ma per esigenze particolari si possono svolgere anche tramite Skype (o altre piattaforme digitali, in particolare stiamo sviluppando strumenti per la videoconferenza in modo da offrire un servizio su questo piano più congruo).
