This "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: $280 (note: each class is 90 min. not 120)
Materials: Please purchase a copy of the textbook Racconti Del Novecento - Realta' Regionali.
