Prerequisites
General Prerequisites
Students' participation in the traineeship program requires a basic background in programming, implementation and assessment in the foreign language lesson. They should also have a relatively high level of Italian. It is also necessary to have a basic pedagogical background that will allow the classroom to be managed in a pedagogically acceptable way that contributes to the psycho-emotional development of the students. For this reason, language courses, Planning and Assessment, Pedagogical Theories and School Practices, as well as the Italian language 1 & 2, have been defined as prerequisite courses.

Student Assessment
Description
The assessment of the students will be based on the portfolio study they will submit at the end of the semester and the lessons they will undertake in a public or private body. The evaluation criteria for the dossier will be: 1. Course design quality (design and curriculum relationship, suitability of the design model, suitability of the content of the project phases). 2. Quality of the teaching material they will produce. The assessment of the student's education will be based on video footage and the use of an evaluation form that will relate to the degree of achievement of the didactic-learning objectives, the creation of an appropriate learning climate in the classroom, the problem management in the classroom.
