Fall 2010

Intensive Italian for Academic Purposes
The Intensive Italian for Academic Purposes course has two complementary and over-lapping aims:  first, it offers students a review of the major grammatical structures they have already studied in the Italian language courses they have taken on their home campuses; second, it gives students the opportunity to develop and practice the type of language skills they will need in academic settings.  Each week of the course is dedicated to the study of a theme, such as Italian Universities, Opera, Antifascism and Resistance.  Readings and viewings on these themes are the springboard for in-class discussion and analysis. 0.5 credit will be awarded for this course.

Introduction to History of Art
Students intending to enrol in the ECCO Art and Architecture course offered in the fall are required to attend an introductory course in September. The course aims to give students the technical vocabulary they will need in History of Art courses taught in Italian, the opportunity to use that vocabulary in the discussion of various works of art, as well as an overview of the major genres and historical events of the Italian Renaissance. No credit will be awarded for this course.
