ITAL 201 — Intermediate Italian I
In order to improve their ability to communicate at the first intermediate level, students apply language skills in interpersonal, interpretive, and presentational modes in everyday contexts. Students deepen the comparisons of Italian-speaking cultures, practices, perspectives, and artifacts to students’ own cultures; connect the Italian language to other relevant disciplines; and expand their use of the Italian language outside of the classroom in a variety of contexts. Content and supporting language structures and vocabulary will be theme-based, with outcomes measured in a variety of ways, including task-based activities that support effective communication around a theme.
