Description
The principal aim of our program is to provide immediate communicative practice in Italian by combining elements of grammar with conversational opportunities and cultural information. Our small classes enable us to successfully strike this balance. Special attention is focused on the development of speaking and listening skills within authentic and meaningful contexts. As the student progresses, more opportunities to develop writing skills emerge.
The natural sequence for acquiring a language is listening, speaking, reading and, finally, writing. At Washington Academy of Languages we follow this order. Basic vocabulary in Italian is acquired relatively easily because many English words are Latin derivatives. As participants learn to conjugate some fundamental verbs and pair them with the acquired vocabulary, conversational and listening skills are gained rapidly. Italian movies, music, food, and other authentic materials may be used in the classroom at various levels to provide contexts for practical listening and speaking instruction.
Textbooks for all levels of Italian: Lazzarino, Peccianti, Aski, Dini, Prego! An Invitation to Italian (Student edition), 6th ed. New York: McGraw Hill Publishing Co., 2004.
