In addition, technical support and personal assistance are available in the Electronic Learning Facility (ELF). The Electronic Learning Facility is a ultra-modern lab where, leading-edge technology allows interactive communications around the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In all our courses, Italian language is used as often as possible. Classes are conducted with an emphasis on oral communication, but writing, reading and the study of grammar are fully incorporated in our methodology. The appropriate sequence of courses enables a student to acquire a degree of fluency in the language and some insight into the diverse cultural aspects of the countries where the language is spoken.<\/p>\n<p>Additional materials are inserted in the general syllabus in order to motivate the students to participate effectively in their language acquisition. Cultural features are conveyed in order to present an authentic image of the language community. Texts, documents and other materials are presented with a global perspective, and stimulate honest, critical thinking among students on moral, social, political and economic values. Students are able to enroll in civilization, advanced conversation, cinema, business, or independent study courses.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em\">The World Language faculty at Ramapo have native fluency in the language they teach and are familiar with the latest language instruction techniques and technology.
