A communicative approach to teaching Italian language and culture to foreign students, combining the study of pragmatics and grammar. This is the second edition of a successful course program, updated and expanded thanks to your suggestions. This course now also includes a multimedia component.
The course promotes passive language learning through activities where students focus on the content of the language rather than on formal aspects. This allows students—especially those whose native language is similar to Italian—to acquire the language independently and quickly. The content is organized in a multidimensional syllabus structure, which is visually enhanced. The units are designed to offer a balanced interaction between the different syllabi. They focus equally on the grammatical syllabus, the notional-functional approach, the lexical syllabus, phonetics, as well as communicative competence and cultural syllabuses.
The second edition introduces some innovations:
• The course is now also available in digital form with keys for all activities.
• Photos and documents have been updated.
• New “Facciamo il punto” sections to review previously learned communicative functions.
• New cultural files at the end of each unit.
• Focus on vocabulary.
• Formative assessments for vocabulary, language functions and grammar for students, and level tests for the teacher.
• End of book glossary.
• An extensive grammar section at the end of the book.
• Authentic videos and extra activities.
This course is ideal for educational purposes, self-study, and work-related applications for language levels ranging from A1 to C2. Intertaal offers these reliable learning resources with a guarantee of fast delivery.
