Winter 2011
Workshops
During
December we offer two workshops for students who want to bridge
our winter break with a grammar review and more opportunities
for conversation.
Winter 2011 Courses Class Schedule
Italian 1 & 2 Review
Workshop
Are you feeling a
bit overwhelmed by all the vocabulary and grammar? This class
will review chapters 1-8 in the Prego textbook. Students may
direct instructors to focus on topics of concern. We will work
to clarify grammar points and help students use them
conversationally. This would be a good class for those who wish
to continue but need to feel surer of their knowledge or for
those who plan to take Italian two in January and would like a
“jumpstart”. Typical review topics include: Irregular present
tenses with idiomatic expressions, direct and indirect object
pronouns, and the present perfect (passato prossimo) and
imperfect (imperfetto) used in narratives and an overview of the
future tense. A Prego textbook is encouraged although the
instructor will provide materials. Instructor: Tina Morelli

Beginning and Intermediate
Conversational Italian
Your instructor
will conduct this class in Italian only and encourage student
participation on topics provided by her or suggested by
students. This class will help those still struggling with
fluency and/or need more vocabulary building as well as “on the
spot” response practice. Students should have completed at least
Italian 2 or chapter 8 of the Prego textbook. Grammar will be
reviewed when touched upon in class. A first or second year
grammar text (such as Prego; Da Capo; Ponti) is optional but
would greatly facilitate review at home. The instructor will
provide all other materials to the students. Instructor: Tina
