More and more international!

Scuola Europa is increasingly confirming its attitude towards internationalization, its openness to foreign cultures and, consequently, to languages other than Italian. In fact, teachers and principals are increasingly aware of how important it is for students to have a solid foundation not only on the ministerial program but also on something more.

Above all, at Scuola Europa, great importance is given to the English language, today more than ever a fundamental business card to face the professional world of work. Therefore, at the Liceo Scientifico Scienze Applied, from the next School Year 2019/2020, the hours of the language will be increased, bringing them from 3 to 5, with an hour of conversation with a native teacher.

Get ready!

What language do you speak?

Scuola Europe is not just cutting-edge teaching, technology and experience. But it is also, and above all, foreign language lessons! Certain English, French and Spanish absolutely, but Russian, Chinese and Arabic are not lacking!

The lessons can be individual or in small groups (2/4 participants). For the learning of the foreign languages proposed, the teachers offer a simple and effective method, supported by carefully selected teaching materials (textbooks, audio material, exercise sheets), which allows the student a gradual path, so as to enter the culture and in the mentality of the chosen foreign language.

 ARAB LESSONS: Scuola Europa is proud to open the doors for the first time in the study of the Arabic language. Among the most difficult in the world, it brings with it an incredible charm and is involving an increasing number of users who want to approach this ancient culture.

 CHINESE LESSONS: China boasts an ancient history and the latter unequivocally refers to the unique and original writing that is born in this vast country. Learning to write 汉字 and studying 中文 is absolutely fascinating and is a continuous challenge that opens the mind, arouses interest and stimulates the knowledge of new horizons.

 RUSSIAN LESSONS There are many reasons for approaching this idiom. Russian is among the most requested and studied languages as it currently offers more job opportunities. The interest in this language is constantly growing, and it can certainly be traced back to the fascination that this country and its culture exert.

 FRENCH LESSONS: the educational offer could not fail to include the teaching of the French language. Always been very studied in Italy and appreciated for its history, culture and literature, this language is a privileged vehicle for discovering a world geographically close to us and offers the possibility to appreciate in the original language authors and works that have influenced European culture.

 ENGLISH LESSONS: needless to say that this language is now essential for today’s world, characterized by globalization. Our offer, therefore, provides a course that can be useful to different users who for reasons of pleasure, work, education abroad, want to be citizens of the world without feeling excluded due to the lack of knowledge of this language.

 SPANISH LESSONS: this neo-Latin language, apparently very similar to Italian, presents many grammatical and lexical difficulties, such as the so-called false friends. Ad hoc lessons with a native teacher are a good way to approach Spanish, a harmonious and melodic language, but above all among the most spoken in the world.

The lessons are aimed at all parents of School Europe (Childhood – Primary – Secondary Secondary – Liceo Scientifico and Liceo Linguistico) to the external and the students from Primary to High Schools.

Copyright: what it is and why it is important

An important and very current appointment for the students of the first classes of the Lyceum of Applied Sciences: at Scuola Europa, Friday 19 October, we are talking about Copyright Law. What’s this? What is it for? Who cares? Because it is important?

The intervention of Dr. Francesco Maria Lazzarini (graduated in Law in Milan) will illustrate what is meant by copyright protected work by making examples related mainly to the world of music and computer industry and by presenting the legislation that protects authors and the penalties for copyright infringement. The lesson will be open to comparison with the students.

Learning Disability, a school seminar explains what it is

That is Specific Learning Disorders. Three words that enclose a world, as stated by AnnaRosa Confuorti who will be at Scuola Europa next week.

The main purpose of the seminar will be to explore the topic of specific learning disorders, to find out what it means to have a learning disability and why there is a need to adopt compensatory and dispensative measures. The project develops with a part of an explanation that will be accompanied by an active part, which will consist of games and practical examples, to which public participation will be required. Another important phase of the project is based on the theme of diversity, equity and acceptance. The testimony of Confuorti will be added to that of other young people through the interviews collected in his book “Dislesia, ah no excuse, Dyslexia” (freely downloadable from the Internet).

Stages of the seminar:

Phase 1: Introduction to the topic of specific learning disorders. We will discuss what it means to have a specific learning disability, also specifying the differences between dyslexia, dyscalculic and dysgraphic; to better understand, practical exercises will be carried out to involve the public.

Phase 2: The importance of compensatory instruments and why they are adopted.

Phase 3: Diversity: its importance, beauty and the need to accept it. It is also important to address the increasingly recurring theme of accepting the diversity of others and what it means to live in a diversified world, even when it comes to learning disabilities.

Phase 4: AnnaRosa Confuorti talks about her experiences both in the American school and in the Italian school, explaining better what led her to want to collect different stories and then finally write the book.

Phase 5: The differences between high school and university, and how important is to get the goals and objectives to be achieved.

Phase 6: Questions and comments from students and / or professors.
