ITA202 Italian II

[3–0, 3 cr.]

A second beginning level course in Italian designed for students who have already a primary contact with the language. The course aims at strengthening vocabulary, accent, and especially grammar. The course gives a broader perspective on reading, writing, and listening, on a higher and more sophisticated level, building upon Beginning Italian (ITA 201). Past and future tenses will be included to give the students the opportunity to understand and communicate in a variety of situations. Emphasis is placed on students’ ability to think in Italian and respond quickly, without needing to translate. Students will continue to be exposed to the richness and diversity of Italian culture. A communicative content task-based approach is used and opportunities are given whenever possible to participate in activities and events. 

Note: This course has not been thought since Fall 2023 and will not be taught in this academic year 2025–2026.
