CLA

Partners and associations

The CLA has been a member of  the Italian Association of University Language Centres, Associazione Italiana Centri Linguistici Universitari (AICLU) for almost twenty years. This represents Italian university language centres within the European Confederation of Higher Education Language Centres, Confédération Européenne des Centres de Langues de l'Enseignement Supérieur (CERCLES).

Since 2011 the CLA has administered language level tests in French, English, Spanish and German for students applying for the Erasmus Programme.

Teacher training

To enhance and develop the skills and professionalism of both newly qualified teachers and those already in service, in 2022 Ca’ Foscari established a single portal (www.unive.it/formazionedocenti) giving information and training opportunities related to the University’s three missions (Teaching, Research and Third Mission).

The service also offers courses designed by the CLA and conducted in English, which can be delivered in group or individual lessons, in person or online:

  • Academic Lecturing in English
  • Self-study level B2 course
  • Improve your speaking skills
  • Level C1 course
  • Academic Writing
  • Public Speaking

Individual or one-to-two lessons (Tutoring)

The CLA offers teachers a list of qualified language experts who are available for one-to-one or one-to-two lessons or series of meetings. Arrangements for this should be made by contacting the language expert direct.
