Beskrivelse af sprogkursus

Full-immersion course composed of: 45 contact hours of Italian Language & Culture, 45 hours of Humanities & Social Science courses, and Service-Learning.

After meeting the group on the arrival day at Pisa International Airport (PSA), SIS staff will accompany the group to Siena where host families meet the students. Orientation activities take place in the three days that follow. During Orientation, students get to know the city of Siena, each other, staff and are introduced to various aspects of the coming semester. They will start exploring the various intriguing, though sometimes contradictory, characteristics of Italy and Italians today.

The Orientation days also include a series of group activities, a welcome reception with host families, faculty and staff as well as a group historical tour of the ancient city.

During the program students take Italian Language and choose 1 elective course from the following list*:

ITALIAN LINGUISTICS AND LITERATURE
- Sociolinguistic Studies

- Art History: Rediscovery of Humanity – The Renaissance in Central Italy

*All of our elective courses are gradually taught in Italian using the EUFICCS methodology and comprise 45 total contact hours. Final course offerings are determined based on enrollment. Not all courses will be offered.

- Semester Italian Language (45 contact hours - 3 credits)

SERVICE-LEARNING
Service is a fundamental component to the study abroad experience at Siena Italian Studies. All students are required to participate in projects that benefit the local community.

The service requirement for students is a minimum of 5 hours a week and there are many different opportunities in varying fields. Some examples are: setting tables and serving food at the city soup kitchen, visiting with the elderly at a nursing home, teaching English to local elementary school children or volunteering with Siena’s ambulance service.

To provide service in the community is an unparalleled way to improve language skills, be a part of the local social fabric, and make a genuine contribution to the host community.
