About us and our mission
Casiraghi Jones Publishing is an Italian company based in
Milan that believes in language teaching via web-based, stre ss-free,
non-traditional methods.
In particular, we think that we should take full advantage
of what the Web has to offer today and strive to integrate already existing
tools (like ReadSpeaker, Google Translate, Babylon and others) in such a way
as to make any student's learning experience more pleasant, worthwhile and
effective.
We also believe in a model that we call "collaborative learning" meaning
that you can learn a lot more if instead of learning passively you actively
take part in our resource building process under our supervision. By
creating resources for the Scuolitalia website, even the most simple and
basic ones, you'll be able to benefit not only in terms of learning but also
from your direct interaction with us, the creators of Scuolitalia (this
personal interaction takes place on our companion website at
http://scuolitalia.ning.com)
Another thing we are trying to achieve is creating resources directly
requested by you, the students. We call this completely free
service "Resources On Demand". But we are also interested in getting in
touch with teachers of Italian worldwide as we think we can be as helpful to
them as they can be helpful to us. For instance, they can use our resources
freely or they can suggest new types of resources or even share in the
creative process.
Private eachers of Italian worldwide can benefit from us also by having
free exposure on our website. Also, we are not in competition to existing
learning institutions (schools, academies, universities teaching Italian)
but want them to become part of our global project aiming at helping ever
more people to learn this wonderful language, Italian.
Last but not least, we have more than 450 Italians, who are already keen
to become your penfriends now. They are all interested in learning English
as you are interested in learning Italian. This is a wonderful opportunity
as all these people were chosen among the users of our
www.englishgratis.com website.
So do enjoy Scuolitalia for free without no need for registration
(registration is needed only if you want to get in touch with our 450+
Italian Penfriends, but it's still completely free!).
