Overview
The aim of this course is to help students in acquiring new structures of the Italian grammar, to give them a quite wide and stable vocabulary and to introduce them to some classical topics of the Italian culture. The students, that already have a basic knowledge of the Italian grammar, are asked to actively participate to the lessons, to elaborate the content of the lessons through homework, field researches and group work.
The course is focused on communication: a pragmatic approach will be used, grammar and other theoretical aspects of the language will be discovered step by step together with the instructor. The students work equally on written and oral comprehension and on written and oral production. Students will also be asked to work in groups on a presentation about a cultural aspect of Italian life they choose. This will count as their final oral exam.
