Requisite(s): 97803 Italian Language and Culture 3

This subject is designed for students at the 'upper intermediate' level of competence in Italian language and culture. It consolidates and further expands the linguistic and cultural capabilities and general language learning strategies acquired through prior exposure to the Italian language, or through Italian 3. 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.

Assessment: This subject has a combination of continuous assessment and final examinations for speaking, listening, reading and writing. Further details are available in the subject outline distributed in class during the first week of teaching.
