LICEO LUCREZIO CARO
The School is a Lyceum with two main areas of study, with a common core of subject matters such as Arts, Maths, Physics, Science, History and Philosophy. One area of study (Liceo Classico) is mainly dedicated to Humanities and Classical Languages and Literatures, while the other one (Liceo Linguistico) is mainly dedicated to the study of modern Languages and Literatures and has an international perspective.

The modern language curriculum pays a specific attention to the process of language acquisition and focuses both on the specific features of each studied language (English, French, Spanish and Japanese) and on the common competences and shared strategies necessary to be an active L2 user. The school emphasizes a task-based teaching and learning approach and is open to innovative teaching methods enhanced by the use of new technologies. Two subject matters are taught in one of the languages studied by the students (CLIL). Teacher training in CLIL has been activated in 2011 both with on-site courses and abroad.

The Association has an updated training programme based on the most recent European Commission’s proposal for a Europe 2020 economic strategy and the Communication ‘Rethinking Education’. The training courses are specifically addressed to teachers and schoolheads in order to enable them to develop forms of innovative teaching, leadership and governance which will have to adapt to the changes required by the European policies for a smart, sustainable and inclusive growth.

The staff of the Association has also developed expertise in the study of testing and assessment techniques, and in the quality management system. In terms of skills development the Association also considers e-learning as a further opportunity for professional growth. Most of the courses provided by the Association are blended courses which allow participants to enhance their ICT skills through the provision of on-line tasks, and activities.
