Intensive Italian For Six Credits (Intermediate II)

6 semester credits. This intensive six-credit course is intended for students who have previously completed two semesters of Italian language studies at the undergraduate level. It will give students the opportunity to experience a total language immersion, preparing them to acquire more complex grammatical structures to express personal opinions and preferences. Upon course conclusion, students will be able to participate in conversations on topics they are familiar with pertaining to personal interests or everyday life (i.e. family, hobbies, work, travel, and current events), as well as narrate a story, relate the plot of a book or film, and write properly about topics that are familiar or of personal interest. The grammatical structures covered will start with a review of Passato Prossimo and Imperfetto, and introduce Trapassato Prossimo, Pronomi Relativi and Combinati, Imperativo, and the four Subjunctive tenses, followed by Passato Remoto, Periodo Ipotetico, Gerundio, and Infinito Passato. All lessons will be taught in Italian. Prerequisites: 2 semesters of Italian language or equivalent.
