ITAL 1002 INTRODUCTORY CLASS TO ITALIAN II: LANGUAJE AND CULTURE IN CONTEXT (3 CREDITS)Building on the foundation course ( ITAL 1001 ) at Villa Le Balze, Introductory Italian II transitions students back to the Hilltop while deepening their linguistic competence and cultural understanding. Designed as the second half of the introductory sequence, this three-credit course expands essential grammar, vocabulary, and conversational skills through guided partner practice, contextualized language modeling, and authentic multimedia materials. Working with New Italian Espresso 1 alongside supplementary resources, students refine all four communicative modes—speaking, listening, reading, and writing. By the conclusion of the course, students will be fully equipped to advance into Intensive Intermediate Italian ( ITAL 1511 ) and continue fulfilling the CAS language requirement.
