English

If you have in your programme of study a curricular language proficiency test (“idoneità”) managed by the Language Centre, you can prepare for the test with one or more courses held by native-speaker teachers and/or with an online self-study course on the Elly portal.

These courses are not compulsory in order to take the “idoneità” test.

 

COURSES WITH TEACHER

For each semester, the Language Centre offers 24-hour courses held by Language experts (CEL = Collaboratori ed Esperti Linguistici). It is not necessary to enrol in order to attend lessons.

All details are available on the Elly page of each course (Elly Didattica > Centro Linguistico di Ateneo > PREPARAZIONE IDONEITÀ LIVELLO...> INGLESE):

Information about the courses for the academic year 2025/2026 will be published here at a later time.

 

ONLINE SELF-STUDY COURSES

In addition (and also for students who are unable to attend the courses with teacher), online self-study courses are always available on the Elly portal (Elly Didattica > Centro Linguistico di Ateneo > PREPARAZIONE IDONEITÀ LIVELLO...> INGLESE):

 

COURSES FOR STUDENTS WITH SLD

The University of Parma offers specific English language courses for students with certified SLDs (Specific Learning Disorders). These courses are mainly (but not exclusively) aimed at students who have the “idoneità” test in their programme of study, with the possibility for attendees to take a personalised test.

Information about these courses, when activated, is published on the dedicated page on the CAI website (Welcome and Inclusion Centre).

Courses usually start in December and are preceded by an informational meeting and an entry test (in November) to place students in the appropriate course.

These courses are not managed by the Language Centre. For information, please contact the teachers:
