An enjoyable Italian course for adults and adolescents, Spazio Italia enables students to quickly and confidently interact with native speakers in a variety of contexts and is well supported by authentic videos, audio tracks and online resources. Focused on gaining competency in the spoken language, the course also develops skills in written production and comprehension and is suitable for students of all nationalities, including those whose mother tongue is typologically distant from Italian.

The coursebook with integrated workbook is available in four volumes corresponding to levels A1, A2, B1 and B2 of the CEFR. Each volume presents vocabulary, grammar and Italian culture in a clear and practical way, providing 10 units subdivided into 3 sections (Vivere la lingua, Sapere la lingua, Civiltà) plus two tests. Each volume is complete with a multilingual glossary and provides access to a selection of online resources including all the audio tracks, transcripts, cultural videos and answer keys. An 'easy reader' style story is also included for levels A1 and A2.

Each level of the course can be purchased with or without the interactive digital version of the textbook (Manuale). The interactive digital version is provided on the DVD-ROM and online via an access code inside the book when bought with the DVD-ROM.
