Italian Beginners
This level is designed to introduce students to the grammatical structures and vocabulary necessary to express basic topics (e.g. family, daily routines, and leisure time) and navigate basic survival situations (making travel arrangements, ordering meals, and making purchases, etc.).
Language topics and functions are integrated into activities that emphasize all four language skills (speaking, listening, reading, and writing), with special attention given to conversation skills. Cultural knowledge that will build a deeper understanding of Italy is a crucial component of the course content.
