| ITAL101: Beginner Italian I: Esperienza Romana |
Credits: 4 Contact Hours: 60 Class Meetings: Monday-Thursday (9:00am-10:00am) Instructors: Various Course/Lab Fee: None Prerequisite: None Beginner Italian - Esperienza Romana (the Roman Exprience), is an interdisciplinary language course which focuses on developing proficiency in speaking, listening, reading and writing Italian, while introducing the students to various, relevant aspects of contemporary Roman life and Italian culture. The course offers students a unique experience in language learning made possible only by direct immersion in the target culture. The historic center of Rome becomes a cultural laboratory: with its inspiring monuments, museums, piazzas and parks, its winding cobblestone streets and lively markets, its characteristic stores and artisans' workshops, and of course its many restaurants and cafes, it is a composite of contemporary Italian culture to be explored by the student. In addition to classroom work based on the standard content of a second-semester of language study, the course includes a series of on-site encounters, which will range from interviews with various exponents of Roman society, to encounters with artisans in the botteghe of the centro storico, field-trips and treasure hunts in town, and encounters with the local Romani. Course Outcomes and Objectives At the end of the semester, students should reach the level A2 of the Common European Framework in the four basic competencies in Italian: listening, speaking and interacting, reading, and writing and have a acquired a deep understanding of Italian culture, society and everyday life that has evolved from the millennia of history and tradition in modern Rome.
