Italian 101:
This is a beginners' class, where students
acquire a basic practical knowledge of Italian.
By the end of the class, students will know how
to introduce themselves and greet others,
distinguish between the formal and informal
'you,' describe people, places, and things, ask
and give directions, order food, and discuss
hobbies and daily routines.
Italian 102:
This lower-intermediate class is appropriate for
those who have learned Italian pronunciation
well and have a basic command of present tense
conjugations. Students learn how to express
likes and dislikes, talk about obligation and
request permission, and describe daily routines
in the present and past tenses.
Italian 103:
In this lower-intermediate class, students learn
how to extend, accept, and decline invitations,
give commands, make suggestions and polite
requests, and use the conditional in the present
and past tenses. Vocabulary and the use of idiom
are reinforced and expanded through oral and
written exercises emphasizing comprehension.
Readings and dialogues introduce the themes of
shopping and travel, housing, and Italian art
and architecture.
Italian 104:
This class begins with a systematic review of
all verb tenses. Students then learn the forms
and use of the remote past, followed by the
present and past subjunctive, ample time being
given to practice and reinforce all new forms.
Also presented are the causative construction
with fare and lasciare, the passive forms of the
verb and the use of the impersonal si. At this
level students begin to read short stories and
magazine articles focusing on art and literature
and politics and the work environment.
Italian 201-204:
The second-year series is suitable for those who
have a basic command of Italian grammar and
syntax (Italian 101-104 at SLA or one year of
college Italian or equivalent) and can
demonstrate intermediate proficiency in reading,
writing and speaking Italian. Designed to expand
and refine students' basic repertoire of
language skills, the 200 series combines
systematic reviews of first-year grammar and
vocabulary with conversation practice organized
around themes of general cultural interest.
Italian 300:
Italian 300 (Advanced Conversation) is a
continuing class for students who possess
advanced proficiency in reading, writing, and
speaking Italian and wish to maintain and
improve their language skills in a structured
setting.
