COURSE DESCRIPTION

In the first part of the course students learn the basic Italian grammar structures and use them in more complex conversations either in classrooms or in selected locations. For this reason the program also includes excursions and academic activities in places such as exhibitions, museums, historical buildings and locations of cultural interest. In the second part of the course students will learn the last section of the basic grammar topics, in particular the function of verb tenses and their agreement. Classes are also focused on the analysis of the grammar structures. The last part of the course is focused on the study of the agreement of verb tenses, the subjunctive mode, the implicit forms, the impersonal form, and the passive voice. Classes are also focused on the accurate creation of oral and written texts.
