Expanded Course Description
| These three courses (ITAL 301, 303, & 305) are designed to empower students as they make the transition from language-based study in first- and second-year Italian, to the study of literary works and other cultural expressions of Italy. Each course presents specific social, cultural, and historical issues through works of literature, and journalistic, cinematic, and artistic materials. Primary attention is given to the development of the analytical and critical skills that are a crucial part of a humanities-based education. At the same time, students continue to improve abilities in speaking, reading, and writing Italian by enriching advanced-level vocabulary, practicing written and oral expression, and improving aural and reading comprehension. All three classes seek to develop students' capacities in Italian, for the integration of humanities content through synthesis, reflection, and critical thinking. These courses thus serve as an effective "bridge" in preparing students for upper-division literature survey courses (ITAL 317-318-319) and further literary and cultural study in the Italian major and/or minor.
The main objective of this course (ITAL 303) is to extend students¿ knowledge and understanding of the Italian language while studying some of the major political, economic, and historical changes from the end of WWII to the present, with an emphasis on how these have affected everyday life. We will analyze literary and journalistic texts and films.
Note: These "stand-alone" courses may be taken in any order and as they fit the student's interest and schedule, to fulfill requirements for the Italian or Romance Languages majors or minors.
