Italian for Foreign Students Ii

The course aims to develop reading and writing abilities and metalinguistic reflection through the use of descriptive, narrative and instructional texts. It also seeks to provide a basic sociolinguistic panorama of contemporary Italian and a panorama of Italian language outside Italy. The exercises provide activities to improve listening and speaking skills. The aim is consistent with the goal of the CdS to create a qualified professional figure of a culturally aware language expert.

At the end of the course a student will be able to produce and understand clear and well structured descriptions, narratives and instructions. He/she will furthermore be able to identify the main information in a text and reorganise it both orally and in writing. He/she will be aware of the diamesic, diatopic, diastratic and diaphasic varieties of Italian and of its evaluation outside Italy.
