Terramare Centro di Lingua e Cultura

Recognized by the University of Siena, the Italian language school Terramare in Orbetello, founded in 1986, is run by a cooperative of teachers.
Orbetello, surrounded by its lagoon, was an important Etruscan port and the home of trade between ancient civilizations. Its historical, urban and natural features provide the ideal conditions for meeting local people, as well as guaranteeing quality of life, making it just the place for a language school.
Classes are always small with a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 6 students, divided into 6 levels as described in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. The close contact with the everyday life of the town gives our students many opportunities to hear and use everyday Italian, and creates a close interaction between the language learnt in school, and practice in the local community. Terramare, in fact, is a responsive school capable of transforming local cultural events, plays and shows into enjoyable learning situations for further language study and social activities.
The teaching method is centered around the individual student; The communicative approach is based on interactive activities in the classroom and group activities outside, with many cultural trips to a variety of local places of archaeological, artistic and historical interest. Enrolling for a language course at Terramare gives numerous opportunities to combine language learning with language practice.
