SUMMER SESSION 2021
ROIT 64050 Online Graduate Reading Course in Italian
This redesigned online course is intended as an intensive study of Italian grammar and syntax for graduate students in the humanities or sciences interested in gaining reading proficiency in Italian. Designed with reading for research purposes as the central aim, we will focus written work on skills graduate students would need to conduct a portion of their research in the target language, such as scanning a text, reading an article or chapter in the primary language, translating short excerpts for citation purposes, and being able to contextualize readings and summarize content within an argument. Students will also work their way through the grammar and focus on building vocabulary through reading and the use of a high frequency dictionary. Final projects will allow students to work on a text from their own field, chosen in consultation with the instructor. All students who pass this course will receive credit for passing the graduate reading exam.
No prior knowledge of Italian is required.
