This online course is designed to teach participants with a prior knowledge of Italian at a basic level. It is suitable for those who previously attended the Italian for Beginners Summer School course or Intensive Italian A. This course will help extend and enrich vocabulary and consolidate key grammar points, which are essential to improving overall communication.
The lectures will be interactive and will comprise conversation and grammar, as well as cultural and creative aspects, to improve participants’ communication skills and their knowledge of Italian structures and content in meaningful contexts. The lectures will help participants with speaking in real-life situations, giving their opinions about basic topics, listening to and understanding key information, and reading and writing short passages.
The course will provide participants with a sound base of skills and language required for further studies in Italian, as well as work or tourism needs, as they delve further into cultural aspects of Italy, such as art and architecture, politics, society, food and film, and more.
