Special Classes
In addition to our standard programs described above the school offers special classes.
These are organized within or outside the school and are made for professionals who want to obtain rapid progress in the specific language and area in a brief period of time.
Business English
For a better confidence in using English for work.
The main objective of this class is to provide students with a better knowledge of English within an international business setting.
Divided in 3 levels, classes begin with a Pre-intermediate level and guide students to an Advanced level.
Each class employs the right choice of language for the right level, both on a work-encountered situation basis and on a practical communication basis.
Within this setting students acquire an improved acquaintance with both written and oral English, develop fluency, acquire more confidence in their own expressional capabilities and are introduced to important cultural factors within an international business setting.
Participant Profile:
all those who work in a setting where the use of the English language is required.
These English courses are especially designed for business people seeking to gain more confidence in conducting their business in English.
Characteristics:
Classes are based on practical activities mimicking relevant and realistic situations and focus on a specific business (negotiating, presentations, business correspondence), on a specific business area (customer service, project management, sales) or general language problems (fluency, business idioms, pronunciation…).
The particular communicative methodologies optimize the target language.
Periodic review ensures a strengthening of the language.
Limited participant number guarantees a better student-teacher contact.
The use of highly updated material allows student to access the most current business terminology.
The functions, structures and terminology acquired during classes are part of an important linguistic asset that will allow students to easily manage any work and travel-related situation.

TOEFL preparation courses for university students
(Test of English as a Foreign Language)
We offer training for the Test of English as a Foreign Language, a course that evaluates the English competence of people whose native language is not English.
Most people who take the TOEFL test are planning to study at colleges and universities in the United States and Canada.
TOEFL is also used by academic institutions in countries like Italy where English is not the language of instruction. In addition, many government agencies, scholarship programs, and licensing/certification agencies use TOEFL scores to evaluate English proficiency.
The preparation courses for TOEFL consist of 15 morning/evening lessons (of 60 minutes each) per week, in classes of not more than 5 students. We recommend that students taking up TOEFL examination take our two-month (8 weeks) preparation classes. Students who are sufficiently prepared can also apply for shorter preparation periods.
Courses are divided into three separate levels:
