This subject is designed for students at the 'upper intermediate' level of competence in Italian language and culture.

It enables students to understand the main ideas of complex texts on both concrete and abstract topics; interact with a degree of fluency and spontaneity; produce clear, detailed text on a wide range of subjects; and explain a viewpoint on a topical issue. Students also broaden their knowledge of the Italian culture, which assists them in the further development of communication skills.
