  This NEW COURSE is designed for Advanced Beginner/Pre-Intermediate students who want to practice and consolidate previous learned grammar structures in new contexts to improve automaticity, comfort and confidence! Not sure if you are "ready" for the next level in your sequence? This course is for anyone who wants to better digest important concepts previously introduced (verbs, tenses, pronouns, and prepositions), apply them in more spontaneous yet focused communicative situations. Students will expand vocabulary and hone both listening comprehension and speaking skills through a variety of student-centered oral activities in class, and written homework (including mini-compositions) will be assigned for further reinforcement of the material. As always, each session explores aspects of Italian life and culture, and materials will be provided by the instructor.
