      Students will engage with authentic material focused on different emotions (fear, shock, love, hate, laughter, to name a few) presented in various cultural, historic, literary and sociolinguistic contexts. The goal of the course is for the student to express opinions precisely and thoroughly, use accurate and appropriate vocabulary, and participate in discussions while practicing advanced grammatical structures.

      Cost: $350

      If you have not taken any other classes at ICC before, REGISTER HERE for our PLACEMENT TEST. An instructor will assess your level.

      Textbook: Colori d'Italia

    Course Information:

    • Classes are offered once per week for ten weeks. Cost: $350
    • All group course students must hold active ICC memberships.
    • Adult classes are for students who are 18 or older.
    • Class-attendance of 70% is expected to proceed to the next level.
    • Punctuality towards class starting time is kindly required to avoid class disruption
    • The ICC requires a minimum of 4 students in any group class. When enrollment drops below this number, students will be offered the option of remitting a tuition supplement. If all involved students agree to the supplement, the class can materialize.
    • All tuition is due in full prior to the first class.
    • Class registration is not transferable to another person.
    • All group classes will close after the first week of class, and no new students will be added.
    • No discounts apply to private, semi-private, customized classes or workshops.
    • Cancellations of private or semi-private lessons, made less than 24 hours in advance, will be charged at the normal rate of tuition

    For online classes:

    • If you do not receive a Zoom link, and class details, by the day before your first class session, please check your spam folder.
    • Language sessions are not recorded for students who miss a class.
    • Active participation is key. Video and audio must be turned on, auditing the class without interaction is not conducive to learning and affects the class dynamic.  
    • Zoom group classes are limited to 10 students per class. However, the ICC reserves the right to adjust this number as is necessary.

    For in-person classes:

    • Joining a session via Zoom is not an option, even occasionally. The instructor will send information about the missed class to all students before the following session.

    Refund Policy:

    • Students will receive a full refund of course tuition, less a $10 registration fee, prior to the start of the first lesson in the session.
    • Students can withdraw from the course prior to the second week of class. An administrative fee of $50 will be retained.
    • No refunds will be issued after the second week of group classes.
    • PLEASE NOTE: Regular class attendance is strongly advised. If a student must miss class, for any reason, s/he will not qualify for reimbursement or an individual makeup class.
