Italian for Business: Professional Language Skills consists of 6 structured lectures, supported by focused lessons and a final assessment, designed to build progressive understanding of Italian language use in business environments.
The course begins with an introduction to Italian business culture, exploring business etiquette, organisational hierarchies, and expectations within Italian professional settings. Learners gain awareness of meeting protocols, communication styles, and professional conduct.
Basic Italian language skills for business introduce essential grammar and syntax, core business vocabulary, and the use of numbers and dates in professional contexts. This section supports clear and accurate communication in everyday business situations.
Advanced business vocabulary and communication focus on sector-specific language, including financial and economic terms, marketing and sales vocabulary, and introductory legal and contractual language used in business discussions.
Effective business communication explores writing professional correspondence, delivering presentations, and applying negotiation and persuasion techniques appropriately in Italian-speaking environments.
Case studies and practical application allow learners to analyse Italian business scenarios, engage in role-play activities, and complete a final project that integrates language and cultural understanding.
Cultural insights and networking conclude the course, examining networking strategies in Italy, business customs and traditions, and techniques for adapting communication style to cultural differences.
The final exam assesses learners’ understanding of Italian business language, professional communication principles, and cultural awareness.
