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. The course features short stories by some of the greatest 20th-century Italian authors from across the peninsula.
Students will expand their vocabulary, strengthen their oral proficiency, and deepen their understanding of Italian literature and history by reading and discussing selected short stories in lingua originale. Through guided discussions, they will explore each work’s literary style, themes, and socio-historical context, while reinforcing their speaking skills with grammar activities connected to the readings.
This course strikes a balance between structure and flexibility, offering students the opportunity to practice specific grammatical structures and vocabulary drawn from the texts in meaningful and authentic conversational contexts.
Cost: $280
