Hello, my name is Cristina and I'm Italian.
I'm a young and motivated online teacher since 2015. I graduated from the University of Bari (Italy) in Languages and Didactics and in 2016 I obtained DITALS Certification of Competence in Teaching Italian as a Foreign Language.
My cultural background is focused on three important aspects:
- Study of languages: English and German.
- Study of language didactics: approaches and methods used to teach a language.
- Study of Italian language and literature.
While I was student, I had the opportunity to make experiences abroad. I studied in Germany and in Latvia. During this time I taught Italian and English. It was a great experience and I considerably improved my teaching skills.
In 2015 I carried out an intership at "Dante Alighieri Society - School of Italian Language and Culture for Foreigners", a renowned society that promotes Italian culture and language.
The aim of my teaching approach is the development of the communicative competence of the student, which means the ability to listen and to interact in the foreing language.
The students will be able to enter immediately into the heart of the chosen foreign language, focusing firstly on the oral production (conversation) and, in a second time, the student will be able to deduce the grammatical and syntax rules.
In order to create a personal course plan is important to understand and define the goals that the students want to reach.
