UMBR ITLN 310 - Adv Italian Composition & Conversation

Institution:

Arcadia University

Subject:

Description:

Pre-requisites: the equivalent of intermediate Italian. This advanced course is specifically designed for students who have achieved an intermediate level of Italian and wish to deepen their knowledge and understanding of the Italian language. To achieve this goal, a three-fold approach is adopted: students work with Italian texts of various types (e.g. narrative and literary excerpts, newspaper articles, film clips, and segments from television shows); engage in guided activities; and participate in out-of-the-classroom activities that require them to make use of the city. Through these activities students come in contact with the authentic written and spoken language in a variety of forms through which they can develop their skills in writing, reading, listening and speaking; they enrich their vocabulary, paying particular attention to the study of idiomatic expressions, modes of speaking, and proverbs; and they advance their understanding of several grammatical and morphological aspects of the language, including: il passato e trapassato remoto; il periodo ipotetico; la concordanza dei tempi dell'indicativo e del congiuntivo; gli aggettivi, pronomi e modi indefinite; la forma passive e impersonale e il discorso diretto ed indiretto; le congiunzioni coordinative e subordinative. The course is intended to maximize on the in-class and out-of-class learning experiences. (Perugia, Italy, http://www.arcadia.edu/abroad/itUmbraInstitute)
