An introduction to Antonio Lucicesare and his –
Learn Italian through Cinema: Impara l’italiano con i film

After six years of sold-out sessions, the Italian Cinema Workshop is back in a new online version.

This short, online course is designed for intermediate and upper-intermediate students of Italian. It is aimed at students who wish to expand their knowledge of Italian cinema while improving their language skills. Students will be introduced to one new film each lesson. Through watching and discussing extracts from each film, students will develop a critical understanding of popular culture and Italian society. There will be a chance to practise all four language skills (speaking, reading, listening and writing), with emphasis on speaking. Students will also be offered guidance in self-study and be set optional homework tasks based on the film after each session.

 

Tips and tricks for joining the online cinema workshop:

The workshops take place via video call, so check your internet and find the perfect, quiet spot in the house with a strong internet connection. We use Zoom (a video chatting service that’s easy to set up and use), and you will receive an invitation following enrolment. Make sure you use a good headset or computer audio with a microphone. Finally, before each lesson, you will receive a word document with all the activities via email. Make sure you have a quick look at this in advance.

Duration of each workshop: 2.5 hours

 

About the teacher:

Antonio has more than fifteen years’ experience teaching Italian in London to both native and non-native English speaker. He has designed, developed, and presented this unique workshop for the last 6 years. For him, the workshop is a project in progress, one that he is always trying to improve. He has developed a wide selection of material and activities to increase students’ participation and their knowledge of Italian Cinema (Antonio Lucicesare’ LinkedIn profile).

To complement the learn while you live experience we run in Italy, we run a programme of online workshops for conversational Italian and Italian culture via Zoom video calls at various times throughout the year.

Just like our real-world programme in Italy, the focus of the online workshops is Italian conversation! Practice for learners of Italian, led by the teachers that are with us on our Italian trips.

All participants are also invited to join our Live & Learn Italian Forum - a private Facebook group specifically designed for participants of the online workshops to share experiences & chat further with the teachers & other members about the programme & all things Italian. It’s a private group so everyone’s able to talk freely & participate fully - especially speaking in Italian! Italian books to read, best ways to learn, tips from our teachers, films suggestions, testimonials of workshops, & some of the creative writing. And most of all get to know other members.
