ITAL201L - Advanced Italian I

3 Credit(s)

Liberal Arts
This course is intended for students who have completed the four foundation courses in Italian language at Marist (ITAL 101L, ITAL 102L, ITAL 105L, ITAL 106L), as well as students new to Marist who have demonstrated a high level of proficiency on the Italian placement exam. This course provides a thorough review and expansion of Italian grammar and the opportunity to further improve the four language skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing) through a current and pertinent cultural framework. Grammar points will be mastered through various spoken and written activities and reinforced by carefully chosen readings from contemporary Italian literature which illustrate them. Special attention will be given to idiomatic expressions which pose special problems to speakers of English. This course will serve as a springboard for more advanced elective courses in Italian. Required for the Italian minor/major.
