Advanced Italian Practice in Context
ITAL 222
Spring 2010
Section: 01  

This course continues the kind of work taken on in ITAL221, but with different texts and varied perspectives. The course is designed for students who have completed at least two years of college-level Italian or who have achieved equivalent competency through study in Italy. Our primary objective is to enhance reading, writing, and speaking skills through exposure to a variety of literary genres and artistic styles, from the medieval era to today, from the traditional NOVELLA to the modern novel (ROMANZO), and cinema. We will include different kinds of languages and jargons, such as movie scripts, newspapers, bureaucratic forms, and Internet sites, etc.

Essential Capabilities: Intercultural Literacy, Speaking
Students explore intercultural literacy by way of examination of various cultural texts (narrative, artistic, cinematic, poetic) that engage key questions of Italian society.
Students will speak daily and in a variety of formats: class discussion, presentations, interviews, etc.
