The aim of the course is to enable students with a good basic knowledge of Italian to develop the four skills further.  Students should then be able to communicate about all situations within Italian speaking countries. On completion of the course students will be able to converse with native speakers, follow debates and give presentations relating to their degree as well as discussing current issues (local and worldwide) using more complex and linguistically accurate structures (different types of discourse, register). Cultural awareness will be further developed and raised within a European/global context.  Language learning skills, including autonomous learning and how to approach authentic material, will be further enhanced.  Various transferable skills will also be covered.
