Italian Language as a Second Language (L2) refers to the study of Italian by non-native speakers. For many years, Italian has been a popular choice among second language learners, especially for those who are interested in art, fashion, food, music, and history. Italian L2 courses aim to develop the four fundamental language skills: reading, writing, listening, and speaking. Italian instruction typically follows the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) guidelines, which sets up six levels of language proficiency.

The levels are as follows:

# A1 – Basic user
# A2 – Elementary user
# B1 – Intermediate user
# B2 – Independent user
# C1 – Advanced user
# C2 – Proficient user


Italian L2 teaching primarily emphasizes communication, with a focus on grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation. The lessons aim to expose learners to authentic Italian texts and situations that help them develop the necessary listening and reading comprehension skills. In addition, these courses prepare learners for Italian language proficiency exams such as CILS, CELI, and PLIDA.
