ITA 131 - Elementary Italian I

Three Credits
Fall Semester

Elementary Italian I is a course intended for students with no previous study of Italian or with very little knowledge of the language. Students who have taken Italian in high school are required to take the placement exam before enrolling in the class. Class work focuses on the acquisition of the oral-aural skills, speaking and listening. Readings on topics in Italian culture as well as frequent writing assignments are also an essential component of the course. ITA 131 is taught primarily in Italian. Out-of-class homework requires work with the Quia lab manual.

 

Please note that students who have taken Italian before are required to take a placement exam before to be allowed to enroll in ITA 131.
