The Instructors

Our fully qualified and highly trained instructors are continuously updated on the most modern methods and research in the field of language teaching, assuring a constant awareness of its functional aspects as well as the guidelines for a natural and active learning of the Italian language. From the very first day of class, students are put into the condition of being able to acquire the language by "using" the language actively to deal with common, everyday situations, to learn specific vocabulary and expressions and apply the correct grammatical functions.

The Method

Learning Italian dynamically and efficiently
Our method is based mainly on the achievement of linguistic proficiency through a consistent progress in all 4 of the fundamental skills: listening, reading, speaking and writing. Another very important aspect is, of course, the development of a linguistic foundation built on the solid knowledge and understanding of the grammatical structures of the Italian language.

Main entrance to the Accademia Europea di Firenze

A fast, accurate and substantial learning of the Italian language is primary to our courses, and likewise the students are stimulated to constantly practice the language, both in and outside the classroom, through interaction during the extra-curricular activities to continuously inspire them to learn the Italian language.

Cultural and Recreational Activities

Aside from regular courses AEF offers a rich program of optional language and cultural activities (concerts, seminars, films, visits to museums and farms, language games) as well as extra-curricular and recreational activities (parties, dinners, food and wine tasting, sports, etc.) which are offered every week to ensure not only the enjoyment and cultural fulfillment of the students, but also to encourage them to practice the language in all of its aspects.

Students going on a fieldtrip

These activities are fundamental in contributing to the creation of a comfortable and memorable atmosphere that intertwines students, teachers and staff and helps the constant monitoring of the progress of each student individually.

The Music Department

Music lessons

In addition to the organization of concerts and shows within the school and in the most renowned theaters in Florence, the Music department also works together and consults with the major Florentine music institutions for the schedules of festivals and concert seasons.
