Full immersion courses in English and German in Europe - summer 2025

This initiative offers students the opportunity to take part in a three-week mobility abroad programme to attend full immersion English and German language courses organised directly by the Administration during the summer of 2025 (indicatively from 14 June to 16 August 2025) and, having met the requirements, to take the language certification.

Features of the mobility programme

The mobility programme is organised entirely by the Provincial Administration which, thanks to the financial resources of the ESF+ Programme 2021-2027, will bear the following costs

• round-trip travel to and from the foreign location;
• training programme (classroom and outdoor activities - visits, educational activities, etc.);
• full-board accommodation in a family or college for the entire duration of the mobility;
• round-trip accompaniment from Italy to the foreign location;
• on-site tutoring service as a reference for students;
• risk, accident and liability insurance for the entire mobility period;
• language certification.

The linguistic level of the course attended by the participant will be identified through an entry language test carried out at the foreign institute or at home, depending on the mode envisaged by the same. At the end of the course, the participant will also take a final test aimed at verifying the student's suitability for language certification.

Upon returning from the experience abroad, participants with a certain level of language skills will have to take thelanguage certification exam according to the procedures that will be subsequently indicated by the Administration.

Where will the full immersion courses take place?

The mobility will take place in Germany and Austria for the German language and in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Malta for the English language.

What is the duration of the full immersion courses?

Students admitted to the mobility programme must attend a 3-week foreign language course, consisting of at least 30 hours per week of full-immersion training-cultural activities and in any case according to the programme defined by the foreign organisation, in consideration of the level of linguistic knowledge at the entrance.
