Aims

- Further develop the skills acquired in course FLTR 1750 Langue italienne (Italian Language);
- Develop oral and writing skills;
- Systematise the understanding of grammar;
- Develop the ability to carry out research on an aspect of Italian culture.

Main themes

Students will further develop the basic knowledge acquired in course FLTR 1750 Langue italienne (Italian Language). Knowledge of grammar will be systematised and made functional. At the end of the four-month period, students:
- will be familiar with normative grammar;
- will be able to write a text;
- will be able to express themselves in Italian;
- will have produced several written pieces of work on Italian authors or artists.

Content and teaching methods

The course aims to enable students to work on their own initiative, drawing on the skills they have learned, by encouraging them to carry out research and to discover for themselves grammatical and pragmatic conventions that the teacher will later systematise. Students must carry out a number of tasks (written work, correcting texts, and research). Correction is personalised in order to make it possible to identify the real needs of each student.

Evaluation
There will be a series of evaluations in the course of the term, as well as final written and oral examinations, which will evaluate the extent to which students have assimilated the content studied during the course and in the exercises and their ability to apply it in writing and orally, as well as in the comprehension of both what they read and what they hear.
