IT 301 bridges the gap between Intermediate (IT3/20) and upper-level (300 and 400 level) language courses. The course reinforces core language skills while building vocabulary and introducing nuanced linguistic structures. Through films, contemporary music, podcasts, and more, students will hone their spoken and especially their written Italian, while engaging with contemporary culture. IT301 offers a review of grammar that prepares students for more advanced Italian discourse, empowering them to apply their skills in meaningful real-world contexts.
