FLORENCE LANGUAGE
AND CULTURE SCHOOL
ADMISSIONS
Welcome to Florence Language and Culture School,
Our Italian language course programs have been developed from a communicative based approach and focuses on the four language abilities (listening, speaking, reading, writing). Our first goal is communication, both oral and written. Our reference teaching methodology is communicativism but not in its extreme consequences. We do think that language analyses is also important. For this reasons we divide our standard course in two parts: "Language Analyses" and "Communicative Tasks".
The language analyses activities include controlled oral and written production, while the communicative tasks involve listening and reading comprehension and free oral and written activities.
Grammatical structures are presented in order of frequency and relative complexity. Teaching material is always introduced in some form of authentic text (newspaper or magazine article, taped dialogue, video-taped situation, letter, short story, etc.). Progress is monitored and all teachers meet weekly to facilitate organization and ensure proper student placement. The instructors rotate weekly to add variety and interest to the group dynamic.
Sincerely,
Dr. Shehu Gledia
Head of Admissions

VISAS
According to the Italian Law n° 68, May28, 2007, foreigners (citizens no belonging to the European Union) staying in Italy for less than 90 days with a regular Tourist Visa do not need to apply for a Permesso di Soggiorno.
As per the Official website of the Italian Police (http://www.poliziadistato.it/articolo/10617/), all individuals entering Italy who are citizens of non-European countries (countries not belonging to the Schengen area) and staying in Italy for fewer than 90 days are only required to get their passports stamped at the customs station at the airport of entry. The customs stamp is equivalent to the Dichiarazione di Presenza required of the Schengen area citizens. Additionally, according to the current legislation, U.S., Canadians, Australians, N.Zs.and Japanese citizens, do not need to apply for a Permesso di Soggiorno, if staying for fewer than 90 days.
If the stay is for over 90 days, all aliens (citizens no belonging to the European Union) who enter Italy legally must comply with the rules governing the stay of aliens in Italy, and are required to report their presence on Italian territory to the local Central Police Station ('Questura') of the province in which they are staying within 8 working days from the date of entry, and apply for a residence permit ('permesso di soggiorno') pursuant to article 5 of Law 286/1998. Aliens requesting this residence permit are required to be fingerprinted.
We suggest to look for up-to-date information on the Italin Police website http://www.poliziadistato.it/ and the Foreign Office website www.esteri.it

Citizens not of the European Union must conform to the requirements issued by the Italian Government. Details can be obtained at their local Italian Embassies.
