Class description
The goals of this course are to develop the skills of speaking, listening, writing and reading to a level of intermediate proficiency. In Italian 200, students review and reinforce the grammatical concepts acquired during the 100 level sequence within contextual class discussions, conversation, readings, audio-visual materials and frequent group projects coordinated by the instructor. In this course we put a great deal of emphasis on improving the oral skills of the students.
Student learning goals
General method of instruction
At this level students are challenged to constant participation in class; they are instructed to use Italian at all times and in all kinds of situations. Students are encouraged to work in groups in order to develop new learning techniques and acquire confidence and proficiency.
