Vakinhoudelijk
The course focuses on communication, students will therefore work with linguistic content (with an explicit reflection on grammar and vocabulary), but also will develop skills to understand cultural and pragmatic elements that are key in specific communicative contexts. To achieve this, class and homework activities are designed to prompt the use of authentic language, and requires students to complete meaningful tasks (presentations, activities, and projects) using the target language.
Assessment is primarily based on task outcome (i.e., the appropriate completion of tasks) rather than simply accuracy of language forms. This helps building up fluency in the target language and boosting student confidence. In addition to improving their command of Italian by speaking it in class, a variety of activities will increase student’s knowledge of Italian culture and society.
Format
Contact hours focus on language practice in line with the textbook chapters. Students will mainly work in pairs and small groups.
Students are required to complete obligatory self-study assignments and preparation before class and are expected to take part during the lessons as well as in group tasks. During language classes the classroom language is Italian, though explanations will be given in English when necessary.
Class time is not time to study but to practice what has been assigned for that session and ask the teacher for possible clarification. At this level studying your vocabulary and grammar daily is important in order to actively participate in class.
