Advanced Italian: Language in Italian Culture (LA-AS)

Spring. 4 credits. Satisfies Option 1 of language requirement. Prerequisite: ITAL 2190 or equivalent. Conducted in Italian. K. Bättig von Wittelsbach.

This course is designed to develop accuracy and fluency in oral and written expression, and to sharpen awareness of idiomatic and stylistic nuances in present-day Italian. The material discussed is drawn primarily from a wide range of social and cultural issues in modern Italy, and in the areas of Europe where Italian is an official (Switzerland) or a regional minority language (Istria). Some of the topics discussed are: the role of Italy in the European Community, the place of the minorities (especially that of more recent, non-European immigrants) in the Italian public life, the importance of art and artist in the contemporary Italian society, and the changing Italian language and its regional varieties. Listening and speaking skills are cultivated through the frequent use of authentic audio and visual materials. Readings range from fictional to analytical and argumentative, with writing assignments frequently emulating the text being read. Presentations and grammar review are also an important component of this course.
