Assessment and grades

In this tutored course you review, practice or brush-up how to write your resume in Italian, make hypothesis, refine and maintain the language using more complex structures (i.e. subjunctive, direct/indirect construction, active/passive construction...), handle discussions about theoretical topics, read books and newspapers in Italian, watch Italian videos, visit some recommended Italian websites, listen to the news in Italian.

Upon successful completion of the Advanced 2 you should be able to "...have no difficulty in understanding any kind of spoken language, whether live or broadcast, even when delivered at fast native speed, provided you have some time to get familiar with the accent... take part effortlessly in any convesation or discussion and have a good familiarity with idiomatic expressions and colloquialisms. You can express yourself fluently and convey finer shades of meaning precisely... present a clear, smoothly-flowing description or argument in a style appropriate to the context and with an effective logical structure which helps the recipient to notice and remember significant points" (standard definition taken from the Common European Framework Self-Evaluation).

Please note: in order to help students learn the language and improve their understanding of Italian culture and lifestyle, CyberItalian has revisited Collodi's story so the self-administered lessons present a dialogue with a modern Pinocchio (Pino). Through "A Modern Pinocchio Story", the CyberItalian course helps students to learn the Italian language and culture as well as to explore their own lives and learning challenges.
