Here is how a Tutored Course works:

The first week of the course, you will receive instructions on how to access your online sessions (self-administered asynchronous sessions).

During each week of the course you will have a session to complete, with a self-administered activity or lesson. You will receive an email every Monday to remind you to access your session.

Every other week - starting from week 1 - you will have an assignment to complete and post in the Class Forum for the teacher. The teacher will carefully review your assignment, correct it and provide you with constructive feedback. The teacher will post corrections and feedback in the Class Forum and in your Progress Report page.

 

 

Every other week - starting from week 2 - you will have real-time audio-video classes via Skype.
During the audio-video classes, students meet with a CyberItalian teacher in a Skype session, complete with co-browsing, so the teacher can show the educational material to students. In the beginner level, students pronounce Italian words or sentences and reply to simple questions, according to the model presented by the teacher. In the successive levels, the teacher-student conversation includes the topics presented in the sessions or other topics related to the students' language level.
Students can ask questions or discuss various subjects. Some of the subjects are proposed by the teacher and others spring up spontaneously during the class. CyberItalian teachers are professional teachers, so they conduct each class by taking into account the needs of the students.

 

The audio-video classes are optional (if you miss a class, it will not affect your course). If you wish, you can participate in all the audio-video group classes of your level (e.g. beginner classes are yellow in the Calendar), unless the teacher suggests otherwise (the teacher could ask a student to change levels if they need to reinforce their comprehension and speaking skills, or if they need to be in a faster paced class or other reasons).

 

The audio/video classes are 50 minutes long, click here for schedule.

Please note, the Calendar reports your local time in a 24-hour format (provided that your computer is set to your local time). For example, there are two beginner classes on Saturday, one at 13 (1 pm) and the other at 16 (4 pm) Italian time. If you need, calculate the time in your zone here.

To participate in the audio-video classes, please see technical requirements here.

 

 

In the Class Forum, students post assignments and questions, receive answers and corrections, and interact with the teacher. The Class Forum is accessible anytime.

 

Each student sees their personalized feedback from the teacher in their Progress Report.

Please remember that for any doubts or questions during the course, you will be able to contact a teacher via Ask-the-Prof service. A real professional teacher will reply via email to your message, so you will never feel alone during your studies.

If you are an undergraduate or graduate student and you need to receive grades and certifications, please check here about our tutored courses for schools.

 

Please note: If you want to obtain a language proficiency certification officially recognized by the Italian government, you have to take the CELI exam (provided by the University of Foreigners of Perugia) or CILS exam (provided by the University of Foreigners of Siena). These exams can be taken in Italy (at the Universities for Foreigners of Perugia or Siena) or outside of Italy (at the Italian Cultural Institutes available in more than a hundred cities in different countries). Other universities are now offering other official certifications.
