Description:
| The program is intended for students who want a total immersion experience in the language and culture of Italy. The Accelerated Sequence requires some previous knowledge of Italian or the knowledge of another foreign language. The Accelerated Sequence is taught entirely in Italian to help students absorb the pattern of the Italian language. The students registered in the intensive summer session will cover the same linguistic objectives as those covered during the regular Fall or Spring semesters in ITAL 101, 102 and 203. During the intensive summer session, students will be asked to practice Italian in real life situations and keep a diary expressing their reactions to these daily experiences. Subject areas and situations will include: interacting with local residents, expressing likes and dislikes, describing people and things, running errands, shopping for food, planning week-end trips, etc. ITAL 121/H-122/H will also introduce students to some important aspects of Italian life and culture, including the school system, Italian cities, Italian geography, Italian cafes, fashion, sports, vacations, etc. The cultural lessons may include medieval / renaissance history, art history with focus on the culture of Liguria, opera, Italian politics, introduction to cinema, etc. | |
