Reading is an excellent and enjoyable way to expand the vocabulary and be exposed to new grammatical structures. This course is designed for students who have completed all of A2-level Italian (or have at least 200 hours of prior learning) who would like to read in Italian but don’t feel ready for novels. Graded readers, specially created for language learners at their level of understanding, and other suitable texts will be used to improve comprehension, vocabulary and speaking. Relevant vocabulary, sentence structures and grammar points will be addressed through a series of activities. Guided discussions will encourage the exchange of ideas while practising speaking and listening skills.
