UMBR ITLN 202 - Intermediate Italian II

Institution:

Arcadia University

Subject:

Description:

This intermediate course (equivalent to a fourth semester course) is designed to equip students with the ability to speak the language with a certain degree of confidence, to acquaint them with more complex grammatical structures, and to introduce them to authentic texts as a way to enhance their lexicon. The course begins with a grammatical review to reinforce and build upon the grammatical elements introduced in the first three semesters of study. Students will be introduced to a variety of authentic texts and materials (film clips, radio and TV segments, newspaper articles, literary excerpts) to develop their skills in reading, writing, listening and speaking. Students will gain the capacity for more complex written and oral expression. In-class activities, such as games, role-playing, presentations, and interviewing in pairs, provide the means by which students learn to differentiate various social contexts and build a vocabulary and socio-linguistic competence appropriate for each situation. Students will develop their use and understanding of more advanced grammatical structures, including: i pronomi doppi e relative; il futuro anteriore; il passato remoto; verbi riflessivi e particelle pronominali riflessive; il condizionale presente e passato; il congiuntivo presente e passato; concordanza dei tempi con il congiuntivo presente e passato; congiuntivo imperfetto e trapassato e l'uso delle congiunzioni con i congiuntivo; il periodo ipotetico della realtà, della possibilità, e della impossibilità; cenni sulla forma passive e impersonale.
