UMBR ITLN 102 - Elementary Italian II

Institution:

Arcadia University

Subject:

Description:

Pre-requisite: first semester Italian language course The course is equivalent to a second semester course and is designed for students who want to deepen and broaden their communicative knowledge of the language. The course begins with a grammatical review to reinforce and build upon the basic grammatical elements introduced in the first semester of study. Various texts, such as letters, newspaper articles, popular songs, film clips an comics, will be used to develop students' written and oral linguistic abilities, including expanding significantly their vocabulary in areas most closely associated with everyday activities and personal interests. To achieve these goals, the course adopts various classroom activities - listening exercises and playing games, role-playing, peer correction exercises, and interviewing. In addition, frequent out-of-the-classroom exercises are employed to increase integration of the students into local city life. This dual approach will help students to develop and/or refine their use and understanding of grammatical structures, including: regular and irregular forms of the present tense; direct and indirect pronouns, prepositions, adverbs, and the comparative and superlative forms of adjectives and adverbs; the passato prossimo and the imperfetto, future verbal forms, the conditional present and past, and the subjunctive present and past.
