This course continues the probing review of the Italian language begun in ITAL2005, or equivalent. The course integrates more complex cultural texts to further the linguistic and cultural learning objectives of the unit. Active language production is encouraged in classroom situations such as role playing, structured conversations, and reading and writing activities. Class time is divided between interactive language work, linguistic reflection, and the study of Italian culture and society. The assessment is designed to optimise learning through tasks that presume a holistic conception of language and culture learning.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:
- understand a range of texts (written, aural and visual) on different aspects of Italian culture, society, history and every day ife;
- communicate orally and in writing with a degree of fluency, spontaneity and accuracy;
- demonstrate increasingly broad expertise in critical thinking by extracting, synthesising and analysing information from a variety of basic cultural texts and communicating their own reactions, opinions and arguments.
- conduct guided research for projects on Italian language and culture
