ITAL 3306

Int Conversation & Expression

Oral Expression and Conversation

The objective of this course is to help students practice their conversational skills in Italian as well as their listening comprehension and oral expression, while aquiring and reinforcing the linguistic competence using vocabulary, idiomatic expressions and grammatical structures presented in the context of contemporary issues in Italian life and society. Students will engage in activities that stimulate observation, reflection, and comprehension watching clips from Italian movies, interviews, and reading original articles. Group discussions, role-play, written text analysis from a variety of sources, as well as in-class oral presentation of specific topics, will allow students to engage with language in meaningful contexts.

* Students are also required to participate in the Diction & Pronunciation workshop, as well as in some of the other workshops offered in the evening for this level.
