Ital Lang Cult: Interm

6 Credits · Level: Undergraduate

Italian Language and Culture Intermediate is a first-year intensive course designed to further develop language ability and knowledge of Italian culture for students who have completed ITAL 1011 or have already had some exposure to the language. As in the case of ITAL 1011 , the four skills of speaking, understanding, reading and writing are developed in a balanced way. Aspects of Italian history, culture, and contemporary life are also introduced through readings, listening materials, videos and films and through the use of language technologies (like Canvas and digital tools). The general objective is to provide students with basic tools for oral and written communication in Italian and to offer them the opportunity to learn about Italian culture and life, but also to reflect about intercultural differences and similarities.
