Italian Language Courses

The University for Foreigners of Reggio Calabria organizes monthly and bimonthly, ordinary and intensive courses of the Italian language.

The courses are organized in monthly modules. The student may attend a bi-monthly or just a month of course. All courses conclude with an examination, designed to test the program carried out (Final Test).

The purposes and programs of intensive courses match those of the first five levels (A1-A2-B1-B2-C1-C2) with an increased hours of teaching and a more personalized method in comparison with the standard courses.

The classes are generally constituted by an average number of 15 students.

The attendance to the courses allows the acquisition of language skills necessary to access to Italian Universities. There is a minimum of hours of attendance to be admitted to do the final test. The total hours will be communicated by the teachers at the beginning of the course.

As for admission to courses, all foreign students who are at least 16 years of age can register and can access at any time, except for the A1 course, which can be accessed within the first two days of lessons.

Attendance is mandatory. It is necessary to mature 80% of the total hours of courses and linguistic-cultural modules in order to do exams and to receive a certificate of the attended course.

 Participation (certified) to conference activities and educational trips can accredit attendance hours on the basis of what the College of Teachers will establish from time to time.

 

At the end of the course, those - who have diligently attended classes - will receive a certificate of attendance. Moreover, at the end of each month it is possible to receive a certificate of attendance with credits CFU/ECTS and an evaluation marked up to 30. The minimum to pass the exam is 18/30. 

Certificates are valid in Italy and abroad. Each Certificate issued by the University for Foreigners, is valid for access to all the Italian universities, which require proof of competence in Italian language.
It will also be released - to those who request it and who have regularly attended classes - a Statement of frequency, which will specify the attended hours and the level. The University for Foreigners also issues its own Official Certification, called Ce.Col., also valid in Italy and abroad.
As for the three-monthly courses: student can perform a test at the end of each module.

Common European Framework of Reference for Languages

The CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages), otherwise referred to by the acronym CEFR (Common European Framework), is a guideline used to describe the skills achieved by those who study a European foreign language.

The reference levels, in which the CEFR is articulated are 6: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2. The six levels of competence (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2) articulated in the CEFR are used throughout Europe and in other continents as parameters to provide teachers of language with a reference model for the preparation of teaching materials and the assessment of language skills.
