The Basic Language Sequence in the Italian Program

Third-semester proficiency in a second language is considered an indispensable competency at USD and

speaks directly to the university's undergraduate learning goals and outcomes (knowledge;

communication; cultural awareness and competence; and engagement). The first three levels of Italian in

our program (ITAL 101, 102, and 201) can be seen as one course divided into three semesters because

they share some common goals and characteristics, and over this period most of the basic structures of the

Italian language are studied. By the end of Italian 201, students should be able to listen, speak, read, and

of 21

write in the target language with the sufficient basic skill, vocabulary, accuracy, and cultural awareness to

communicate their needs in everyday situations in a culturally appropriate way; likewise, they should

demonstrate the ability to acquire additional linguistic competence on their own. Another primary

objective of the language program is that students develop insight into their own language(s) and

culture(s) by looking beyond their customary borders and by examining their own relationship to other

cultures so as to be able to participate more fully in local communities and global contexts. Achieving

greater proficiency in Italian can translate into a practical job skill for almost any profession, but, most

importantly, learning another language is a personally enriching experience and a vital part of cultural

understanding and intellectual development within a Liberal Arts education.

The Five-Day Syllabus

It is important that all students understand a basic premise upon which the course is designed: language

learning is most effective when the student is exposed to and actively studies the target language on a

daily basis. For this reason, even though language classes at USD only meet three days a week (Monday,

Wednesday, and Friday), students practice the language five days a week. On Tuesday and Thursday,

students study independently and then complete and submit their homework electronically. All

homework submitted electronically is always due before the regular class meeting time, including

Tuesdays and Thursdays when class does not meet. In this way students actively engage with the

language at least five days a week, and their learning is maximized through this consistent exposure. The

schedule at the end of the syllabus reflects this design and includes the topics and materials to be covered

each of the five days per week throughout the semester.

Teaching and Learning Methodology

While each professor has an individual style, all sections of Italian 101, 102, and 201 share a common

methodology and some common features. First and foremost, our common focus is the development of

students' proficiency in Italian, which goes beyond merely knowing and emphasizes the ability to actively

use the language. The students are responsible for studying the grammar and completing all assignments

before coming to class. Class time is then spent on practicing and reinforcing the structures already

studied outside of class in order to improve students' proficiency, their actual ability to use Italian and

carry out tasks in that language. All of the language skills are developed equally, but class time is

dedicated primarily to the oral skills. The class is conducted entirely in Italian, and while there may

be some brief clarifications, there are no lengthy grammar explanations. This is because

explanations in English are provided in your textbook and by the on-line tutorials on My Italian

Lab. Language learning demands consistent hard work; students should expect to spend at least twice as

much time studying out of class as they do in class. The first two weeks of the semester tend to be even

more challenging as students begin using their language skills and become accustomed to both their

instructors and the teaching methodology. If something is unclear do not hesitate to ask your

instructor. Each class is relatively fast paced and contains multiple activities, including questions and

answers, pair/group work, presentations, and role playing, among others. All students are accountable for

consistently coming to class prepared, staying on task and speaking only Italian in class, and actively

participating in all activities.

Goals, Objectives, and Student Learning Outcomes for Italian 101

Course Goals: Following the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages’ (ACTFL)

Proficiency Guidelines 2012, Italian 101 seeks to increase students’ proficiency to a level ranging

from Novice High to Intermediate Low depending on the student and the communication mode (see

below).

Course Objectives: Based upon the National Standards for Foreign Language Learning, the course

objectives are centered around the 5Cs (Communication, Cultures, Communities, Comparisons, and

Connections) and the three modes of communication (Interpersonal, Interpretative, and Presentational).

These will always occur in a cultural context that will help students understand key communicative

nuances to properly function in the real Italian-speaking world. Texts, whether oral or written, will always

be contextualized so that students not only are exposed to authentic cultural products but also can

interpret them appropriately.

Student Learning Outcomes: By the end of the semester students will be able to:

Interpersonal Communication: Communicate and exchange information about

familiar topics. Handle short social interactions in everyday situations by asking and

answering simple questions.

Presentational Speaking: Present basic information on familiar topics using

language they have practiced using phrases and simple sentences.

Presentational Writing: Write briefly about most familiar topics and present

information using a series of simple sentences.

Interpretive Listening: Understand words, phrases, and simple sentences related to

everyday life. Recognize pieces of information and sometimes understand the main

topic of what is being said.

Interpretive Reading: Understand the main idea of short and simple texts when the

topic is familiar.

How to Enroll in Italian 101

Attendance:

In order to successfully pass this course it is very important that you attend every class meeting and arrive

punctually. Missing more than 3 classes will lower your final grade. For each additional absence, your

final overall grade will be lowered one step on the grading scale (e.g. from A to A-, etc.). Please note that

when you miss class you will also miss important content and practice, and will have some catching up to

do. In the event that you are absent, it is your responsibility to find out what materials and/or homework

assignments you have missed and to come prepared to the next class. Arriving late or leaving class early

will result in half an absence.

Participation and Attitude:

For full participation credit, students must have carefully prepared for class and are expected to

participate fully. Texting and cell phone use, along with disruptive classroom behavior, will result in no

credit for participation on that particular day. Participating in Tavola italiana (our conversation board) and

tutoring may improve performance in this and in other aspects of the class. Take advantage of these

opportunities as much as possible. This is how the Participation grade is calculated:


of 21

Participation Grading Scale: 10% of the final grade)

A

· Nearly always participates voluntarily in class activities without hesitations.

· Consistently stays on task during partner/group work.

· Uses Italian almost exclusively.

B

High level of preparation and participation.

· Sometimes offers relevant comments.

· Usually answers when called on and demonstrates a high degree of

preparation.

· Sometimes participates voluntarily in class activities.

· Stays on task during partner/group work.

Homework and Culture (15%):

Assignments must always be completed before the beginning of class time (both on class days, MWF,

and on off days, TTH). Homework will help you prepare for class as well as for exams and quizzes. As a

result, missing homework can significantly impact your performance in all aspects of the class.

Homework includes:

· On-line assignments from My Italian Lab.

· Written assignments from Percorsi or Blackboard: NB: Reading comprehension activities will

always be collected and must be placed on the instructor’s desk at the beginning of class time.

Write legibly or type your answers.

· Cultural Activities. The development of cultural knowledge and understanding as well as

of 21

intercultural competence--understood here as the capacity to interact appropriately and effectively

within diverse social settings and cultural contexts--is a fundamental part of effective language

learning. Such development necessarily takes place beyond the classroom. Throughout the

semester you will attend at least 2 cultural activities on campus and/or in the community, and

at least one must be attended before week 7. One activity must be a conversation table

(Tavola italiana), and one can be chosen among the following: on or off campus lectures and

cultural events in Italian studies, Italian films, operas, music concerts, visits to Italian museum/art

collections, participation in events organized by the Italian Cultural Center in Little Italy, the

Italian Cultural Institute in Los Angeles or the San Diego Italian Film Festival. A list of cultural

activities will be made available at the beginning of the semester. When you participate in an

event other than Tavola italiana you will turn in a short reflection in English or in Italian.

Attendance will be taken at Tavola italiana. NB: if you are watching a film as part of the

syllabus for this class, that film cannot be used as a cultural activity.

Oral Component:

The oral proficiency grade will be based on the quality of daily participation in oral discussion/activities

and on two oral assessment tests (in pairs or in groups). Presentation topics will be related to course

content and/or cultural activities.

Writing:

You will write three short compositions, Temi, in two drafts (both of which will be graded), and some

paragraph-length assignments. The revised version of your Temi will incorporate your instructor’s

feedback. Writing assignments must be double spaced and typed.

Quizzes:

You will be given vocabulary/grammar/culture quizzes typically at the end of one chapter. Quizzes will

last approximately 20-25 minutes. The dates are marked on the schedule and make-up quizzes are not

allowed.

Exams:

You will be given an exam typically at the end of two chapters. These exams will evaluate all skills

except speaking. The dates are marked on the schedule and make-up exams are not allowed.

Final Exam:

The final exam is cumulative and will evaluate all skills, except for speaking. Do not book your flight

home before the day of your final. The exam must be taken with your section and make-ups are not

allowed.

Additional assistance for students

If you have any questions or problems regarding the syllabus or the course, you should consult with your

instructor. In addition, the department offers a free tutoring service for students who are struggling with

the material. The tutors are faculty-recommended students enrolled in advanced courses. They receive

training in order to provide you with the best help possible, so we encourage you to take advantage of this

opportunity. Visit the department website (http://www.sandiego.edu/cas/languages/students/tutoring.php)

http://www.sandiego.edu/cas/languages/students/tutoring.php

of 21

to find out when tutors are available. Students should also consider participating in the Italian

Conversation Table; ask your instructor for more details.
