Overview
The aim of this course is to help students in acquiring and expanding new structures of the Italian grammar, to give them a wide and stable vocabulary and to introduce them to some topics of the Italian culture. The students, that already have a good knowledge of the basic and intermediate 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 based on a communicative and task ? based approach. 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.
