CULP: Italian Intermediate 2 Prerequisites£
The Programme offers general language tuition with a focus on communicative competence.
At intermediate 2 level the focus shifts slightly towards reading and writing whilst still offering plenty an opportunity for oral communication. The syllabus is more topical and the contents feature many a cultural, historical, political and current affairs theme. While the grammar is analysed within a context, explicit grammar instruction becomes an integral part of the course.
More detailed information is available from the Language Centre.
