Incoming international mobility: Italian language courses
The CLA - Centro linguistico di Ateneo promotes, organises and offers Italian language courses for international students, researchers and lecturer staff. All students may freely use the multimedia facilities and the language laboratory for self-study; moreover, they may access audiovisual and computer-based resources.
Students may attend only one Italian language course at the Language Centre, regardless of the course duration, type and period (intensive/semester-long, in-person/online). Attendance is free of charge.
The CLA offers semester-long courses (starting in October and March) to exchange students and students on double degree programmes. The courses cover levels from A1 to C2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages of the Council of Europe.
Erasmus+ students for Study with Partner Countries (KA171) and Erasmus Mundus students may also attend the communicative Italian courses held before the start of the semester (in September and February).
Tandem Learning is an exchange between two people who speak different languages that enables both to improve their language skills through conversation or other forms of communication.
CreAttive Conversations are a series of conversation groups organised by volunteers from the Alternative Civil Service. During the group meetings, in which one or more native speakers take part, students have the opportunity to converse in a foreign language. The project aims to provide participants with a space for intercultural and linguistic exchange. Participation is free of charge and open to all students at the University of Padua and to students on exchange programmes (Erasmus, Mundus, etc.).
The conversations are available for the following languages: French, Russian, English and Italian for international students.
Participation is free of charge and open to those studying at the University of Padua and to students on exchange programmes (Erasmus, Mundus, etc.).
