Italian I

Catalog description

ITAL 1201 is a fast-paced, introductory-level course, designed for students with no previous knowledge of Italian. Students will be guided in developing four language skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) in the context of everyday topics (school, housing, travel personal preferences, simple exchanges about past, future and possible events, etc.). They will also be introduced to culturally acceptable modes of oral and written communication in Italian, some fundamentals of Italian history, and select current social and political issues.
