DITALS CERTIFICATION EXAM - UNIVERSITY FOR FOREIGNERS OF SIENA

DITALS CERTIFICATION EXAM

Tiberius International is an official center for DITALS exams. Issued by University for Foreigners of Siena, the DITALS certificate is an indispensable tool for all those who wish to become teachers of Italian for foreign students.

The DITALS Certificate issued by the University of Siena for Foreigners uses written and oral tests to evaluate theoretical and practical knowledge in the field of teaching Italian to foreigners and guarantees a certain degree of standardization in lieu of a longer training process at university institutions specialized in the training of teachers of Italian as a foreign language.

Applicants
The exam for the DITALS Certificate can be taken by Italian citizens and foreigners who fulfill the following requisites:
– excellent knowledge of the Italian language;
– secondary school diploma;
– university degree in the area of humanities or, in the absence of such, certification that the candidate has taught a minimum of 150 hours of Italian to foreigners;
– certificate of attendance in a language-teaching training course consisting of at least 30 hours of lessons.

Exams and evaluations
The exam consists of sections on theory and practice. The sections on theory are designed to test skills in the areas of linguistics, socio-linguistics, and language instruction. The sections on practice test the abilities to analyze and integrate teaching material, develop teaching material, create lesson units, and create tests in comprehension, production, and evaluation. The exam is composed of four sections and requires five hours for the written exam (sections A, B, and C) and approximately 10 minutes for the oral part (section D):

  • Section A: Analysis of didactic materials
  • Section B: Construction of didactic materials
  • Section C: Knowledge of theory (20 questions)
  • Section D: Oral language teaching ability (an audio recording of the candidate, who is asked to confront oral tasks in communication connected to the role of a teacher of Italian to foreigners).

I had a great experience with this school, the teachers are great and very nice people. They have courses for all levels and they are easy to follow and useful. I did only 2 weeks of classes and it felt very helpful to learn Italian. You can also meet people from all over the world during the course. Cannot recommend enough. Plus it's a great plan to learn Italian in the mornings and go to the beach in the afternoons 😉

Großartige Sprachschule! Ich habe vier Wochen lang die Tiberius Sprachschule besucht und richtig tolle Sprachferien in Rimini verbracht. Rimini ist nicht nur eine Stadt in der viel los ist, sondern die auch kulturell viel bietet. Der Unterricht war sehr interessant und abwechslungsreich gestaltet. In der Kleingruppe hatten wir viel Spaß und haben viel gelernt. Die Schulleiterin Monica und die Lehrer sind alle sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Ich kann die Schule nur weiterempfehlen und werde auf jeden Fall wiederkommen.

Leider konnte ich nur 1 Woche in Rimini verbringen, ich hatte aber das große Glück, an der Schule mit Serena viel zu lernen. Serena ist eine wunderbare Lehrerin, mit Geduld und Freude habe ich dort eine Menge gelernt! Ich freue mich jetzt schon darauf, wiederzukommen.

Ich habe eine Woche bei der Tiberius School verbracht und einen Kurs 50+ gemacht. Es war einfach nur phantastisch. Ich habe noch nie in meinem Leben so viel italienisch gesprochen, natürlich mit Fehlern, die immer mit großer Toleranz verbessert wurden.Monica und Andrea haben mir mit großer Leidenschaft Rimini und andere Sehenswürdigkeiten gezeigt und sie haben mit hoher Kompetenz und Geduld mein Italienisch nach vorne gebracht.Natürlich komme ich wieder und freue mich jetzt schon auf diesen Aufenthalt.

Sono molto contento che ho studiato per due mesi al Tiberius. Questa è una scuola straordinaria. La direttrice della scuola Monica e tutti gli insegnanti sono amichevoli e vogliono di aiutare. Studiare non è noioso, con giochi, comunicazione attiva, guardare i film. La scuola ha un'atmosfera molto piacevole, come a casa.
