| Outcomes |
Building on the levels achieved in ITAL1102 Italian Beginners II, students (1) develop oral comprehension and expression skills in the Italian language at an intermediate level; (2) practise oral and written comprehension at an intermediate level; (3) write Italian correctly at an intermediate level; (4) understand a range of Italian language styles by listening to standard Italian in formal and informal situations, looking at texts of varying styles, including short narrative pieces, poems and newsprint articles, and working interactively (especially in pairs and small groups); (5) interact with a variety of texts by reading them in their sociocultural context; (6) discover complementary visual material that illustrates some of the cultural and historical assumptions and connotations behind Italian writings and the societies to which they refer; and (7) compose and assemble concisely and logically ideas and aspects discussed in lectures and tutorials. |
| Content |
This unit is designed for students who have completed ITAL1102 Italian Beginners II. Essentially, the unit allows students to expand on communicative techniques learned so far, explore more complex aspects of the language and acquire confidence in speaking. Through the cultural studies component, students are made aware of cultural differences. They are introduced to selected works of contemporary literature and/or films. The unit leads to ITAL2204 Italian Intermediate II. |
| Assessment |
Supplementary assessment is not available in this unit except in the case of a bachelor's pass degree student who has obtained a mark of 45 to 49 and is currently enrolled in this unit, and it is the only remaining unit that the student must pass in order to complete their course. |
