This sequence is founded on the five Cs of the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) National Standards. Students will have the opportunity to practice the three modes of Communication, to learn about Italian Culture, and to make Comparisons between their first language and culture and the Italian language and culture. In addition, students make Connections to other fields of study unavailable to them through their native language. Finally, students have the opportunity to engage with the Italian Community outside of the classroom. The goal of the basic Italian sequence therefore is to produce students with an observable and definable degree of language proficiency. Proficiency is measured by the achievement of particular benchmarks as defined by ACTFL in the four skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing), and supported by the five Cs cited above. An Oral Proficiency Class is required in ITL 101, 102, and 103. Students with four or more years of high school Italian will not receive credit for 101.
