This course is for adults who can express themselves well in Italian, using a good range of vocabulary and tenses, including the present subjunctive. To join at this level, you should have an adequate knowledge of the language having studied Italian for at least 5 or 6 years, or equivalent. In this course you will learn to talk more fluently and accurately and express opinions, listen to a wide range of audio materials and read and translate texts from and into Italian.
Homework is given on a weekly basis. To benefit most from the course, you will be encouraged to read the materials used during each lesson and complete the relevant worksheets.
We will revise and consolidate the vocabulary and the grammatical structures learned in the previous years. Students will practise all four skills (reading, writing, speaking and listening), but in class we will focus more on listening and speaking (reading and writing will be the basis of the homework).
