ITAL282L - Advanced Reading and Composition

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. We will concentrate primarily on honing two of the four language skills: reading and writing. Through short, frequent, and varied readings both literary (short stories, novels, poetry, plays) and non-literary (newspapers, magazines), students will acquire strategies to improve comprehension and appreciation of diverse texts. Responses to readings, expressed through creative individual and group writing assignments, will serve to refine written expression. Required for the Italian minor/major.

Offered When: Fall
