Ciao Florianap!
Il mio suggerimento è il seguente:
"...to practise the language where it is spoken".

... in an authentic environment?
Weekends abroad that allow you to practise the language in situ might be another option.
learning the language in situ
learn the language in situ
experiencing the language in situ
learning the language in situ
learn the language in situ
experiencing the language in situ

I honestly think these are the best. Closest to the original and easily understood. I'm embarrassed I didn't think of this option!

What a great solution, thank you!
But how about 'Inoltre gli studenti avranno la possibilità di visitare le scuole di lingua direttamente sul posto'?
I wouldn't use 'in situ' here, is it ok this version:
"Besides, students can visit the language schools first hand"

Well, it's not really the sort of thing you see or hear much, is it, Shannon? I read it in something recently (in one of those rare instances) so it just popped into my head.
Is this version okay:
"Besides, students can visit the language schools first hand"
Honestly, don't love it... and is that really your meaning?

Why not?
Gotcha. Can you give us the other sentences in this paragraph so we can see the overall tone of the passage?
Sure thing!
Appoggiandoci alle scuole di lingua delle quali siamo agenti, organizziamo divertenti e interessanti weekend in Inghilterra, Germania, Austria, Francia, Spagna per praticare la lingua straniera studiata nel Paese in cui viene parlata. Il programma della gita prevede attività sociali ed escursioni oltre che l’alloggio e il volo aereo. Inoltre gli studenti avranno la possibilità di visitare le scuole di lingua direttamente sul posto.
My two cents:
By relying on language schools for which we are agents, we organize fun and interesting weekends in England, Germany, Austria, France and Spain to practice the foreign language studied in the country where it is spoken. The weekend packages include social activities, excursions, accommodation and flights. Besides, students can visit the language schools first-hand.

Okay, then I think your "first-hand" idea works well here after all!
Although I do wonder if it would be useful to clarify the benefit of visiting the schools first-hand?
Here's my version for your consideration... not quite as faithful to the original but hopefully more engaging in English.
In collaboration with language schools around the world, we offer fun and exciting weekend intensives in England, Germany, Austria, France and Spain, providing students with an opportunity to practice their foreign language skills in the countries where the languages are actually spoken. Our weekend packages include social activities and outings, as well all accommodations and round-trip airfare. This is also a great opportunity for students to visit the language schools first-hand.... (if they are considering a longer stay in the future?)

Sounds excellent, thanks a million! I'd still include the 'agents' bit though, because the school gets a fee for every student sent to language schools abroad.
I agree, it's quite weird as a concept (visiting the schools before actually going there).
Lastly,I thought "accommodation" was uncountabl?? But probably the plural form is used regularly in American English, isn't it?

Hi Kitty,
"on the spot" usually means "spontaneously" or "right in that moment" - it doesn't quite work here....

If you will permit me.
