Method:

We follow a comunicative teaching method. We believe in learning Italian in a way which is active, dynamic and lively. In our lessons we make use of books, participating in class conversations, songs, videos, role plays and outdoor-activities. An authentic use of Italian in real life, daily contexts, naturally without neglecting the rules of the language.

Teacher:

All teachers at Trulli Italian School are young, qualified and certified in teaching teenagers and senior students. In every lesson, the student is our focal point of attention, considering his/her individual learning times and personal needs.

Accomodations:

Our students are really lucky cause they can decide to sleep in beautiful Trulli in the countryside equipped with a swimming pool and immersed in silent countryside, or in a hotel just a stone’s throw away from the school and the centre of Alberobello or single or shared apartments, all to enjoy the stay in Apulia.
