The first three courses of Italian in our program (101, 102, and 201) can be seen as one course divided into three semesters because they share some common goals and characteristics, and over the three semesters 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 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 the global community.

While each professor does have an individual style and approach to language teaching, all of the sections in Italian 101, 102, and 201 share some common features, first and foremost being the focus on the development of students' proficiency in Italian. The concept of proficiency can be understood with the analogy of learning how to drive a car. Initially, the student must study the driving manual and then take a written exam. From there, he or she must actually get into the car and learn how to drive; this is the proficiency part, which means being able to actually drive the vehicle. In the Italian language course, the student is responsible for studying the grammar and completing all assignments before coming to class. Class time is then spent on practicing 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. 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 and willing to actively participate in all activities. 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 within a Liberal Arts education. Learning Outcomes for Italian 101 One aspect of language learning in which adults differ from children is the former s ability to consciously monitor their own progress. To assist you in this self-monitoring process, we have included LEARNING OUTCOMES for the FOUR SKILLS (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) as well as LINGUISTIC and CULTURAL KNOWLEDGE to be achieved by semester-end. Class will be conducted in Italian. Speaking: This ability is measured in the following components of the course: daily participation, homework, and oral presentations. Ask and respond to questions on common features of daily life (academic life, family, weather, time, meals, likes and dislikes, etc.), satisfy a number of personal needs, and communicate by combining together basic vocabulary and expressions. Listening: This ability is assessed in the following components of the course: participation, homework, and exams (including the final). Discriminate among distinctive sounds in Italian, identify familiar words and categories of words in simple texts. Determine the general nature or tone of a text and identify main ideas. Reading: This ability is assessed in the following components of the course: participation, homework, pop quizzes and exams (including the final). Recognize familiar vocabulary, rehearsed phrases, and cognates in simple authentic texts. Determine the general nature or tone of a text and identify main ideas. Writing: This ability is assessed in the following components of the course: participation, homework, compositions, and exams (including the final). Fill out forms or documents and produce e-mails, letters, and descriptive papers in paragraph form, using the structures and vocabulary learnt. 2

Linguistic Knowledge: This knowledge is assessed in all components of the course. Basic grammar structures (presente dei verbi, nomi e aggettivi, articoli, etc.), and vocabulary for each of the thematic units. Cultural knowledge: This knowledge is assessed in all components of the course. Knowledge acquired out of class through cultural activities and service learning will be assessed in oral presentations and/or written assignments. Recognize and identify basic cultural elements from the Italian speaking world, including geography, lifestyle aspects, customs, and festivals, among others. Begin to understand that the culture is unique and not a translation of their own culture. Student responsibilities In order to achieve the learning goals for Italian 101, and reach the level of proficiency that is necessary to move on to Italian 102, you must study and interact with the language every day. You will be expected to work and turn in materials every day of the week even if your class only meets three times per week. Students are responsible for studying grammar and completing all assignments before coming to class (preferably, the night before they are due). On Tuesdays and Thursdays, they are expected to work on their own using the on-line learning system My Italian Lab. Daily assignments are clearly marked/posted on My Italian Lab and are due every day by the beginning of class time. Class time is spent on practicing 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. The class is conducted entirely in Italian, and while there may be some brief clarifications, there are no lengthy grammar explanations. You will find detailed grammar explanations in your textbook and on its on-line component My Italian Lab, which contains grammar tutorials, flashcards, practice Tests and other helpful resources. 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 and willing to actively participate in all activities.

Optional: Adorni, S. and Primorac, K, English Grammar for Students of Italian. (Available on Amazon and other on-line sellers). MIL (My Italian Lab) http://www.myitalianlab.com/ contains: The on-line version of the SAM (Student Activities Manual): most of your daily homework. All the media files from the textbook. Additional Practice (grammar tutorials, practice tests and exercises, flashcards, verb charts, glossaries, etc.) is also available on MIL and is accessible either from the main page (top right) or under Course Content and in the chapter menu. While some of the activities in this area may be assigned, it is up to you to decide whether you need the extra practice and the additional tutorials to study and review. Where to purchase textbooks: Textbook materials can be purchased either at the USD bookstore or on-line at the following website: http://www.pearsoncustom.com/ca/usd_italian/ NB.: On the website you will find different purchase options: New students should select the link at the end of the page that says: Students who DO NOT have the textbook: Purchase package including textbook, MyItalianLab, and dictionary HERE. Returning students who have the textbook but need to buy access to My Italian Lab can select one of the two options for buying My Italian Lab access only (6 or 24 months) How to register on My Italian Lab: If this is your first Italian class at USD: Make sure you purchase the Textbook materials and register to use My Italian Lab ASAP, because you will have on-line assignments from the first day. At this website you will find all the instructions on how to register on MIL: http://www.pearsoncustom.com/ca/usd_italian/.to register you need the code that you will find in your textbook package, the school zip code: 92110; and your instructor course ID: Section 1 (10:10): CRSKLEN-8001624 Section 2 (11:15): CRSKLEG-10001827 If you are already registered on My Italian Lab: Follow the instructions for returning users that are available on this website: http://www.pearsoncustom.com/ca/usd_italian/ Enroll in the courses using the Course ID: Section 1 (10:10): CRSKLEN-8001624 Section 2 (11:15): CRSKLEG-10001827 Course components Attendance. It is very important that you attend every class meeting. Missing more than three classes will significantly impact your performance and lower your final grade in this course. For each individual absence after the third one, your final overall grade will be lowered one step on the grading scale (i.e. from B to B-, etc.). If you are sick, you need to provide a doctor s note that clearly states the absence date in order to have your absence excused. In the event that you are absent, it is your responsibility to find out what material you have missed and any homework assignments. Late arrival or early departure from class will also result in an absence without a valid written excuse. 4

Participation and Attitude. Participation is essential to language acquisition. In order for you to participate actively in class, you should study the appropriate material ahead of time. Participating in extracurricular activities such as Tavola italiana and tutoring will improve performance in this and in other aspects of the class. Take advantage of these opportunities as much as possible. Here is how participation is calculated: A (range): Student was always well prepared for class (had studied the materials before coming to class), he/she was familiar with all new vocabulary and verbs, was always able to answer questions and participate in discussion, participated in class activities actively, used mostly Italian in class. B (range): Student was generally well prepared for class (had studied the materials before coming to class), he/she was generally familiar with new vocabulary and verbs, was mostly able to answer questions and participate in discussion, participated in class activities actively, used a limited amount of English in class C (range): Student was not always well prepared for class (had not always studied before coming to class), he/she was sometimes unfamiliar with new vocabulary and verbs, and was not always able to answer questions and participate in discussion, did not always participate actively in class, often switched of English in class. D (range): Student was frequently unprepared for class (often had not studied before coming to class), he/she was often unfamiliar with new vocabulary and verbs, was often unable to answer questions and participate in discussion, did not participate actively in class activities, spoke English frequently in class. F: Student was mostly unprepared for class (usually had not studied before coming to class), he/she was unfamiliar with new vocabulary and verbs, was usually unable to answer questions and participate in discussion, did not participate actively or with the right attitude in class activities, generally spoke English in class. Homework. Assignments must always be completed by the beginning of class time (both on class days, MWF, and on off days, TTH), as it is indicated on the schedule and on My Italian Lab. Late homework will not accepted unless you have a valid written excuse such as a doctor s note. NB: 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. Reading: Throughout the semester we will cover several readings from Percorsi (Leggiamo, Lo sai che?, Attraverso le regioni, In contesto etc.) and from the files provided on Blackboard and/or on My Italian Lab (Lettura). Reading assignments are clearly marked on the syllabus and will be collected and graded. In addition, each time a reading is due, your instructor may also administer a short in-class pop quiz to verify reading comprehension. The reading grade will be based on the results from both the reading assignments and the pop quizzes. However, you will be tested on reading comprehension also on your exams, including the final. Oral Proficiency. The oral proficiency grade will be based on the quality of daily participation in oral discussion/activities and on two oral presentations. Presentation topics will be related to course content and cultural activities. Writing: There will be several short and longer writing assignments. Temi are the longer writing assignments and they will be turned in two drafts, both of which will be graded. Quizzes. You will be given 3 vocabulary/grammar quizzes at the end of chapter 1, 3, 5. The dates are already marked on the schedule and NO make-up quizzes are allowed. Exams. You will be given 3 longer exams at the end of chapters 1-2, 3-4, 5-6 (Excluding Percorso 3 from Chapter 6). The dates are clearly marked on the schedule and NO make-up exams are allowed. Exams will take place at the end of two book chapters, and will include evaluation of all skills except speaking. Final Exam. The final exam is cumulative and will evaluate all skills, including cultural knowledge. Do not book your flight home before the day of your final. It will be given only as scheduled. 5

Cultural Activities. Inspired by a campus wide Integrated Learning Initiative, these activities encourage students to gain learning experience beyond the classroom. Throughout the semester you will attend at least 2 cultural activities on campus and/or in the community, preferably one before and one after week 7. For each additional activity after the 2nd one, 1 point will be added to the participation grade (ex: 89-->90). One activity will be a conversation table ("Tavola italiana"), and one can be chosen among the following: on or off campus lectures on Italian topics or other cultural events, Italian films, operas or 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, repeated participation in "Tavola italiana". A list of cultural activities will be made available at the beginning of the semester. Every time you participate in an event other than the Tavola italiana, you will turn in a short reflection paper. All the Tavole italiane are in SLP, in front of Tu Mercado. Tutoring Center: The Department of Languages and Literatures offers a free tutoring service. Tutors are faculty-recommended native speakers of the language or students enrolled in advanced courses. They receive training in order to provide you with the best help possible, so we encourage you to use the program if you feel that you need help outside of class. Please visit our website for complete information: http://www.sandiego.edu/cas/languages/students/tutoring.php. If you participate in at least 8 tutoring sessions your overall homework grade will be increased of 1 step on the grading scale (from B to B+, etc.). When you meet with your tutor he/she must write you a note for your instructor. Integrity of Scholarship: You are expected to follow the university policy on academic integrity. Please note that getting substantial help from a native speaker, using online translators, cutting and pasting paragraphs from different websites and handing in papers downloaded from the internet are all forms plagiarism. For more information, consult the section on Academic Regulations in the USD Undergraduate Catalog: http://www.sandiego.edu/catalogs/undergraduate/academic_regulations.php **PLEASE REMEMBER** * Students must study new materials BEFORE coming to class. Class is conducted in Italian. * There are NO make-up exams, quizzes, writing or reading assignments. * Late work is not accepted. Please be aware of due dates and plan accordingly. * Please do not disrupt class. If you have a cell phone, an i-pod, i-pad, or a computer, please switch it off upon entering the classroom.
