Synopses & Reviews
Synopsis
Foundations Italian 2 is part of the only language series to be written specifically for the institution-wide language programmes (IWLPs) in HE institutions where languages are taught to non-specialist undergraduates. The series is designed to fit the two semester year, with in-built supplementary material to cater for different numbers of contact hours and abilities. Written by experienced IWLP practitioners the series is carefully tailored to meet the needs and interests of HE students. This is a post-beginner's course, and follows on from the highly successful Foundations Italian 1. Two cassettes are available with a site licence included in the price. Digital audio is also available to institutions. Tapescripts are available free on request.
Synopsis
A lively and popular textbook teaching Italian to post-beginners working in a classroom setting. A diverse range of dialogues, and reading passages deliver new material which is carefully practised in a wide variety of imaginative exercises, both individually and in pair- and groupwork, and backed up by structured grammatical underpinning and exercises. A substantial self-study section offers practice material for homework and revision, and for extension purposes. All the audio is available free-to-access as MP3 files online.
Foundations Languages courses are tailor-made for undergraduates and other students on Institution-wide Languages Programmes (IWLPs), languages options and electives, ab initio and minor routes in languages, and open learning programmes at universities and in adult education. Foundations Italian 2 is ideal for students with some basic GCSE or other beginner's knowledge. It can be used as a successor to Foundations Italian 1, or following any similar beginner's course.
