About Me
italki teacher since Dec 25, 2015Interest topicMusicReadingPets & Animals
My name's Federica and I'm from Naples, Italy. I have a degree in English and Japanese Language and Literature and I have 2nd level Ditals, certification of competence in teaching Italian as a foreign language. I'm a translator from Japanese and English and an Italian teacher both online and in the classroom. I have also worked as a volunteer with an association arranging free Italian courses for migrants. I teach Italian from beginner to advanced level.Me as a Teacher
I'm patient, approachable and proactive.
My lessons are focused on speaking, listening, reading and writing skills, but I give mainly importance to conversation because I think the more you speak the more you feel comfortable speaking.
I also know that motivation is essential to learn a language, so I have my students choose their topics of interest and fix their goals.
In this regard, I had the good fortune of taking part in a seminar held by Anthony Mollica creator of "Recreational Linguistics" a method to acquire linguistic and cultural skills through word games and lexical combinations. It inspired me, so I will do my best to make your studying fun and easy!My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are tailored to my student's goals and needs. As for materials I use songs, commercial spots, videos, articles from newspaper and magazines and so on. In other words, with me you learn the authentic Italian! In my lesson are 5 steps: at first I make a short introduction about the topic; the second step is listening and reading the text; the third step is about general comprehension, I give some keywords and then ask questions about content of the text; the forth step is to analyze unknown words and sentence structures; in the last step I provide speaking and writing exercises to consolidate vocabulary and grammar. I give mainly importance to conversation.My teaching material

Federica was prepared and kept going back to the exercise when my mind would wonder off. Very focused, asked if it was ok to correct me and then she corrected me in an effective manner. Obviously she has experience teaching and I felt it was the money well spent.

We engage in open-ended conversation. Unfortunately, the latter part of the lesson had connection problems. I do not know where the problems lay. We may try another formate for the next lesson.

With Federica we focus on conversation, which is free-flowing. While it is casual, she corrects grammar and vocabulary along the way. Apart from casual conversation, each lesson has had a focus on a song or poem, offering new vocabulary and making for engaging conversation.
