The first three levels of Italian in our program (ITAL 101, 102, and 201) can be seen as one course divided into three semesters because they share some common goals and characteristics, and over this period most of the basic structures of the Italian language are studied. By the end of Italian 201, students should be able to listen, speak, read, and write in the target ITAL 101 Page 1 of 18 Fall 2016

language with the sufficient basic skill, vocabulary, accuracy, and cultural awareness to communicate their needs in everyday situations in a culturally appropriate way; likewise, they should demonstrate the ability to acquire additional linguistic competence on their own. Another primary objective of the language program is that students develop insight into their own language(s) and culture(s) by looking beyond their customary borders and by examining their own relationship to other cultures so as to be able to participate more fully in local communities and global contexts. Achieving greater proficiency in Italian can translate into a practical job skill for almost any profession, but, most importantly, learning another language is a personally enriching experience and a vital part of cultural understanding and intellectual development within a Liberal Arts education. The Five-Day Syllabus It is important that all students understand a basic premise upon which the course is designed: language learning is most effective when the student is exposed to and actively studies the target language on a daily basis. For this reason, even though language classes at USD only meet three days a week (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday), students practice the language five days a week. On Tuesday and Thursday, students study independently and then complete and submit their homework electronically. All homework submitted electronically is always due before the regular class meeting time, including Tuesdays and Thursdays when class does not meet. In this way students actively engage with the language at least five days a week, and their learning is maximized through this consistent exposure. The schedule at the end of the syllabus reflects this design and includes the topics and materials to be covered each of the five days per week throughout the semester. Teaching and Learning Methodology While each professor has an individual style, all sections of Italian 101, 102, and 201 share a common methodology and some common features. First and foremost, our common focus is the development of students' proficiency in Italian, which goes beyond merely knowing and emphasizes the ability to actively use the language. The students are responsible for studying the grammar and completing all assignments before coming to class. Class time is then spent on practicing and reinforcing the structures already studied outside of class in order to improve students' proficiency, their actual ability to use Italian and carry out tasks in that language. All of the language skills are developed equally, but class time is dedicated primarily to the oral skills. The class is conducted entirely in Italian, and while there may be some brief clarifications, there are no lengthy grammar explanations. This is because explanations in English are provided in your textbook and by the on-line tutorials on My Italian Lab. Language learning demands consistent hard work; students should expect to spend at least twice as much time studying out of class as they do in class. The first two weeks of the semester tend to be even more challenging as students begin using their language skills and become accustomed to both their instructors and the teaching methodology. If something is unclear do not hesitate to ask your instructor. Each class is relatively fast paced and contains multiple activities, including questions and answers, pair/group work, presentations, and role playing, among others. All students are accountable for consistently coming to class prepared, staying on task and speaking only Italian in class, and actively participating in all activities.

Goals, Objectives, and Student Learning Outcomes for Italian 101 Course Goals: Following the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) Proficiency Guidelines 2012, Italian 101 seeks to increase students proficiency to a level ranging from Novice High to Intermediate Low depending on the student and the communication mode (see below). Course Objectives: Based upon the National Standards for Foreign Language Learning*, the course objectives are centered around the 5Cs (Communication, Cultures, Communities, Comparisons, and Connections) and the three modes of communication (Interpersonal, Interpretative, and Presentational). These will always occur in a cultural context that will help students understand key communicative nuances to properly function in the real Italian-speaking world. Texts, whether oral or written, will always be contextualized so that students not only are exposed to authentic cultural products but also can interpret them appropriately. *See www.actfl.org/publications/all/world-readiness-standards-learning-languages/standards-summary. Student Learning Outcomes: By the end of the semester students will be able to: Interpersonal Communication: Communicate and exchange information about familiar topics. Handle short social interactions in everyday situations by asking and answering simple questions. Presentational Speaking: Present basic information on familiar topics using language they have practiced using phrases and simple sentences. Presentational Writing: Write briefly about most familiar topics and present information using a series of simple sentences. Interpretive Listening: Understand words, phrases, and simple sentences related to everyday life. Recognize pieces of information and sometimes understand the main topic of what is being said. Interpretive Reading: Understand the main idea of short and simple texts when the topic is familiar.

Missing more than 3 classes will lower your final grade. For each additional absence, your final overall grade will be lowered one step on the grading scale (e.g. from A to A-, etc.). catching up to do. In the event that you are absent, it is your responsibility to find out what materials and/or homework assignments you have missed and to come prepared to the next class. Arriving late or leaving class early will result in half an absence. Participation and Attitude: For full participation credit, students must have carefully prepared for class and are expected to participate fully. Texting and cell phone use, along with disruptive classroom behavior, will result in no credit for participation on that particular day. Participating in Tavola italiana (our conversation board) and tutoring may improve performance in this and in other aspects of the class. Take advantage of these opportunities as much as possible. This is how the Participation grade is calculated (10% of the final grade): A B C D F Excellent level of preparation and participation.

Homework and Culture (15%): Assignments must always be completed before the beginning of class time (both on class days, MWF, and on off days, TTH). Homework will help you prepare for class as well as for exams and quizzes. As a result, missing homework can significantly impact your performance in all aspects of the class. Homework includes: On-line assignments from My Italian Lab. Written assignments from Percorsi or Blackboard: NB: Reading comprehension activities will always be collected and must be placed on the instructor s desk at the beginning of class time. Write legibly or type your answers. Cultural Activities. The development of cultural knowledge and understanding as well as intercultural competence--understood here as the capacity to interact appropriately and effectively within diverse social settings and cultural contexts--is a fundamental part of effective language learning. Such development necessarily takes place beyond the classroom. Throughout the semester you will attend at least 2 cultural activities on campus and/or in the community, and at least one must be attended before week 7. One activity must be a conversation table (Tavola italiana) on Thursday, September 29, Tuesday, October 18, Wednesday, November 16, and one can be chosen among the following: on or off campus lectures and cultural events in Italian studies, Italian films, operas, music concerts, visits to Italian museum/art collections, participation in events organized by the Italian Cultural Center in Little Italy, the Italian Cultural Institute in Los Angeles or the San Diego Italian Film Festival. A list of cultural activities will be made available at the beginning of the semester. When you participate in an event other than Tavola italiana you will turn in a short reflection in English or in Italian. Attendance will be taken at Tavola italiana. NB: if you are watching a film as part of the syllabus for this class, that film cannot be used as a cultural activity. Oral Component: The oral proficiency grade will be based on the quality of daily participation in oral discussion/activities and on two oral assessment tests (in pairs or in groups). Presentation topics will be related to course content and/or cultural activities. Writing: You will write three short compositions, Temi, in two drafts (both of which will be graded), and some paragraph-length assignments. The revised version of your Temi will incorporate your instructor s feedback. Writing assignments must be double spaced and typed. Quizzes: You will be given vocabulary/grammar/culture quizzes typically at the end of one chapter. Quizzes will last approximately 20-25 minutes. The dates are marked on the schedule and make-up quizzes are not allowed. Exams: You will be given an exam typically at the end of two chapters. These exams will evaluate all skills except speaking. The dates are marked on the schedule and make-up exams are not allowed. Final Exam: The final exam is cumulative and will evaluate all skills, except for speaking. Do not book your flight home before the day of your final. The exam must be taken with your section and make-ups are not allowed. Additional assistance for students If you have any questions or problems regarding the syllabus or the course, you should consult with your instructor. In addition, the department offers a free tutoring service for students who are struggling with the material. The tutors are faculty-recommended students enrolled in advanced courses.
