For students who took Italian II at Montclair State University, students with 3-4 years of high school Italian, or who placed at this level with the Placement test. The course is designed to strengthen proficiency through task-oriented activities, on-line lab work and a review of structures and vocabulary while new material (e.g. future tense, conditional, subjunctive mode) is introduced. Its notional-functional approach is based on a virtual trip to Italy and favors a hands-on approach. Students study Italian culture using Internet resources and create the template for a trip by learning how to: select a destination based on their interests; book hotels (on web-sites, by phone and email); pack for the trip (going clothes shopping); use public transportation to travel in the country; use rental cars (negotiating road rules); go to the bank, the post office; go grocery-shopping or eat out at restaurants; stay healthy during the trip, negotiating pharmacies, doctors and hospitals, etc. Meets World Languages Requirement.
