The fourth (e.g., Intermediate Italian II) in a series of foreign language courses (e.g., Italian, Russian, Chinese, German, Hindi, Japanese, Portuguese: 190, 191, 290, 291, 293) and is designed for students that have successfully completed LANG 190,191, and 290. The course will help students to acquire the ability to use what they have learned by focusing on seven essential communicative functions in the selected foreign language (describing, comparing, reacting and recommending, narrating in the past, talking about likes and dislikes, hypothesizing, and talking about the future), and to help to achieve greater cohesion in speaking and writing abilities. Further, this course will give students an opportunity to apply these skills as they learn more about Italian culture through authentic sources. The course enables students to communicate effectively in the foreign language, understand alternative views and cultures and understand an interdependent world. The class will be conducted entirely in the foreign language, and students will be expected to participate actively using the language skills they learn.
