A communicative approach to teaching Italian language and culture to foreign students, covering both pragmatics and grammar. This is the second edition of a successful course book, which has been updated and expanded thanks to your suggestions. The course now also includes a multimedia dimension.
The course promotes passive language acquisition through activities that encourage students to focus on the language content rather than on formal aspects. This allows students—especially those whose native language is related to Italian—to master the language independently and quickly. The content is organized in a multidimensional syllabus structure, which has been visually enhanced. The units are designed to allow for a balanced interaction between the different syllabi. Equal attention is given to the grammatical syllabus, the notional-functional approach, the lexical syllabus, phonetics, as well as to communicative skills and cultural syllabi.
This second edition introduces several innovations:
• The course is now also available digitally and contains solutions for all activities.
• Photos and documents have been updated.
• New “Facciamo il punto” sections to review previously learned communicative functions.
• New cultural dossiers at the end of each chapter.
• Focus on vocabulary.
• Formative assessments on vocabulary, speech acts and grammar for students, and level tests for the teacher.
• A glossary at the end of the book.
• An extensive grammar section at the end of the book.
• Authentic videos and extra activities.
This course is suitable for both self-study and classroom instruction, and is aimed at students with language proficiency ranging from A1 to C2. Intertaal is your reliable supplier, guaranteeing fast delivery.
