  This 5-week "Special Topics" language and culture course is designed for students at the Intermediate level (B1) or above who wish to approach language learning in a different way. Short stories from the greatest Italian 20th century authors from up and down the peninsula! Students will expand their vocabulary, strengthen oral competency, and deepen their understanding of Italian literature and history by reading and discussing selected short stories from 20th-century authors in lingua originale. Students will participate in guided discussions to explore each work’s literary style, themes, and socio-historical context, and will hone their speaking skills through grammatical exercises aligned with each reading. This course offers the balance between structure and flexibility by providing the opportunity to practice specific grammatical structures and vocabulary found in the readings in a personally meaningful and authentic conversational context.

  • Cost: $180 (note: each class is 90 min. not 120)

  • Materials: Please purchase a copy of the textbook Racconti Del Novecento - Realtà Regionali.

  This 10-hour (5 week) special course is the perfect chance to review, practice, and better digest everything you need to know about verbs in the present tense. More focussed on putting language into practice than traditional grammar courses, here students will concentrate exclusively on proficiency with verbs and reviewing accurate use of present-tense conjugations in more detailed sentences in a variety of social contexts, such as speaking with family and friends about social plans, daily activities, one's profession and hobbies, as well as likes and dislikes. Students will work together on new and sequential materials compiled by the director, with the aim of speaking with increased precision and automaticity, thus increasing comfort and confidence. This course will also build a much stronger foundation for proceeding to future courses such as Advanced Beginner (Beginner 4 or 5) or Pre-Intermediate (1-3).when speaking in more detailed sentences with accurate use of many verbs in the present tense.

  This course is designed to bring each individual student to a higher level of comfort and automaticity, and not all students need to have the same end goals. Students will also gain a deeper understanding of proper etiquette in cultural contexts such as cafes, restaurants and stores in Italy.

  Prerequisite: Beginner 2.
  

  Cost: $200

  If you have not taken any other classes at ICC before, PLEASE SIGN UP TO TAKE OUR PLACEMENT TEST HERE. An instructor will assess your level.

  Instructional materials will be provided by the instructor, but please come with a notebook!
