Dilit (Divulgazione Lingua Italiana), established in 1974 and officially authorized by the Italian Ministry of Education, was one of the first language schools in Italy to teach Italian as a Foreign Language and has established itself as one of the most prestigious Italian Language Schools in the country today. It is an early member of the IH World Organization, now a network of over 150 language schools in more than 50 countries. It is also member of IALC (International Association of Language Centres).
The school is an Examination centre for the CELI examinations of Perugia University and for CILS examinations of Siena University. Dilit is also well-known and appreciated in Italy and abroad for its Teacher Training Department accredited by the Italian Ministry of Education and for the publication of course books and other language teaching materials. The quality of the teaching and services provided by the school is guaranteed by its membership to EAQUALS (European Association for Quality Language Services).
Italian Language Courses in Italy
Dilit International House was one of the first schools to adopt a fully communicative approach to the teaching of Italian, and the approach is being up-dated all the time. Language is never presented out of context; and grammar, phonology, lexis and all other features of actual language use in everyday situations are analysed.
A wide variety of up-to-date authentic material is used in class, thus giving students valuable information about modern-day Italian culture and society at the same time as developing students’ authentic linguistic and communicative skills.
Our permanent teachers, who have been teaching in the school for an average of 12 years, have been selected from special Training Courses, and they are further required to take part every month in teacher education seminars as part of their working time.
All our 16 classrooms are comfortable, bright, air-conditioned and equipped with interactive whiteboards.
