Overview

This course aims to provide selected vocabulary and grammar rules that suit the comprehension level of the students. This course also includes exercises to build vocabulary and to enhance students' abilities in forming simple sentences and dialogues that focus on the present and past tense. This course focuses on understanding the basic rules to reach the top of language proficiency and avoid making grammatical or logical errors. This enables the student to speak and write in Italian accurately and fluently.

Intended learning outcomes

By the end of the 14th week, the student should be able to:
  • Compose correct sentences based on accurate grammatical rules and in various life topics in the present and the past, as well as speaking in the passive form and the conditional form.
  • Give orders using the imperative form.
  • Compare two or more elements using degrees of comparison of qualitative characteristics
  • With regard to the acquisition of skills, the student who passed this course must have developed his abilities in language proficiency and acquisition, in writing (written exam), personal communication and oral communication (working in groups and making oral presentations).

Teaching and learning methods

  • The inductive method or the deductive method. Teaching in this method proceeds by dividing the lesson into several points called the steps of the lesson, which are: introduction, presentation, linking, rule or deduction, and then application. It is a method based on presenting examples, then dialogue with students about them, and discussing them, then making a balance between them, after which the rule is extracted, and the grammatical and morphological concept is derived.
  • The dialogical method or the method of questioning, in essence, in teaching grammar, is based on discussion and investment of students' previous experiences to direct their activity towards achieving a specific goal. The questions must be well prepared. Clarity, sequence, order, and a function of their distribution among students are taken into consideration.
