Italian 100 - Fall 2015

Tonia Prencipe received a grant from the Italian Institute of Culture in San Francisco to partially sponsor a new course for Italian at UCSC.  This new course, Italian 100, is designed to provide intensive practice in oral and written Italian. Structure review will be contextualized to support the principal focus of the course, which is vocabulary building and increased oral and written expression. Active class participation in all aspects of the course, class discussions, oral presentations, written reports, responses and essays, with different genres of writing, including, but not limited to, diaries, epistles (formal and informal), blogs, text messaging, dialogues, short stories, memoirs, interviews, podcasts and media language are essential and constitute a significant portion of the course. Tonia Prencipe will be teaching the new course in Fall 2015.
