This course is designed to accommodate students who have fair knowledge of Italian vocabulary and structure, but are not ready for ITAL 2090. It aims to help students further develop their intercultural, reading, listening, speaking, and writing skills, and increase their confidence in communicating in Italian. Course materials and assignments provide ample opportunity for vocabulary building and grammar review. Intercultural awareness is cultivated through a variety of short readings, films, discussions, class presentations, and group work.
