ITAL104 - Beginning Italian Online

Italian 104 is designed for students who have no previous Italian instruction and who wish to have an online immersion language learning experience. This will be a fun, rigorous, dynamic and active learning experience in a respectful and supportive community of learners.

Italian 104 is the first in the series of Online First Year Intensive Italian summer courses (followed by Italian 105). It is designed for students who have no previous Italian instruction and who wish to have an online immersion language learning experience. The main goal of this course is to give you (the students) the basic skills you need to communicate in Italian in familiar real-life situations. The course is designed for you to gain skills in all three modes of communication (interpretive, presentational, and interpersonal) in culturally authentic contexts. You will be exposed to Italian texts (written, audio and audio-video) in order to develop strong interpretive reading and listening skills. You will work on your presentational and interpersonal writing and speaking skills based on writing activities, oral presentations, dialogs, interviews and role-play situations. The course will be conducted mostly in Italian. This will be a fun, rigorous, dynamic and active learning experience in a respectful and supportive community of learners.
