Teaching different grades of English High School in Italy.

 Small-group advanced undergraduate independent study (4–5 students per semester).

• Spring 2024 – Italian for Business: Designed and taught a course focused on Italian for professional and business contexts. Emphasized formal registers, professional communication, and advanced vocabulary. Students refined all four language skills (reading, writing, speaking, and listening) with particular attention to formal grammatical structures, email and letter writing conventions, and oral communication in workplace scenarios. Targeted upper-intermediate learners seeking to develop professional proficiency.

• Spring 2025–2026 – Registers in Italian: Designed and taught a course on register variation in Italian, focusing on how linguistic features vary across formal, informal, academic, professional, and conversational contexts. Students learned to recognize register-specific lexical, grammatical, and discourse features and to adapt their own language use appropriately. Activities included analysis of authentic texts, corpus-informed exploration of register differences, and guided practice in producing Italian across multiple communicative contexts.
