The whole experience is assessed through special tools: Participant Handbook, Company Handbook and Skills Portfolio. We also provide Europass Mobility Certification and Final Reporting concerning the whole experience. English Language Course Language courses are taught by teachers specialised in teaching English as a Foreign Language. The teaching method is based on communication. Students actively exercise the four fundamental functions of the language: listening, speaking, reading and writing. Particular attention, however, is given to conversation, to develop an increasing capacity to express himself and communicate in the foreign language from the beginning of the course.
