Language Point, as an international language training Institution, accredited by MIUR since 2004, offers a wide range of options for the professional development of teachers, regardless of their specific level of experience or education. We promote and organize seminars and training courses tailored to the needs expressed by the school as well as cultural events for the updating of teachers. Within the framework of the European dimension of teaching foreign languages, “teacher training” is intended for those who want to acquire specific training in teaching languages and other subjects (science, art, geography, history, mathematics, technology, etc.) in a foreign language (CLIL) or simply expand their professional knowledge.
Language Point, as a Member of AISLi (Associazione Italiana Scuole di Lingue) since 2007, is included in the definitive list of Accredited Bodies for the Training of Teaching Staff of the School of the Ministry of Public Education (Ministerial Decree No. 177/2000 – Directive n ° 90/2003) with which it has built a constant and close collaboration over the years. In addition to the projects included in the official list of the Ministry of Education, our teacher trainers can create and organize training courses on the specific needs of applicants. The courses, recognized by MIUR and present on the SOFIA platform, are structured in order to enhance the learning of foreign languages (skills of reception, interaction and oral and written production) and offer teaching methodology ideas for the enrichment of curricular lessons to their students.
