Language Tour of the Aeolian Islands - Sicily - Salina, Stromboli and Vulcano
Dates: 07 – 13 April 2019
Immersed in the deep, enchanting blue of the Tyrrhenian Sea, off the north-eastern coast of Sicily, the Aeolian Islands—home of Aeolus, the Greek God of Wind—guarantee an unforgettable experience. On these rocky isles, the contrast between volcanoes and the sea is strikingly beautiful. Earth, air, fire, and water sometimes merge and sometimes clash, creating breathtaking landscapes. The Aeolian Islands archipelago has been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1999.
Our language tour combines formal Italian language classes with guided, contextualised practice against a backdrop of spectacular peaks, stunning volcanic views, beautiful sunsets, and a wealth of contrasting colours. It is the ideal cultural trip to blend Italian language learning with carefree, relaxing walks through delightful islands and the powerful, unique experience of climbing a volcano. Throughout the trip and during our excursions, you will be able to interact in Italian with locals, tour guides, and your teacher, who will participate in all the activities listed in the programme. This gives you the chance to practice your Italian and receive encouragement, clarification, and feedback even outside the classroom. Moreover, our lessons draw inspiration from and seamlessly blend with the authentic cultural experiences that these locations offer.
Learning won’t stop when classes end, but you’ll be too busy enjoying yourself to notice!
Groups will be formed according to language proficiency levels so that each course is tailored to specific learning targets.
Our lessons focus on oral practice and interaction, maintaining a strong connection with the cultural aspects of the places we visit and our nature excursions. Learning doesn't stop when classes end, but you'll be too busy enjoying yourself to notice! :-)
