Requisite(s): 97804 Italian Language and Culture 4
This subject is designed for students at the 'lower advanced' 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 4. Upon completion, students are able to understand a wide range of demanding, longer texts, and recognise implicit meaning; express themselves fluently and spontaneously without much obvious searching for expressions; use language flexibly, effectively and in a culturally appropriate manner for social, academic and professional purposes; and produce clear, well-structured, detailed text on complex subjects, showing controlled use of organisational patterns, connectors and cohesive devices.
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.
