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
Page 2 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.

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:
Page 6 of 21
Participation Grading Scale: 10% of the final grade)

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
Page 7 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)

to find out when tutors are available. Students should also consider participating in the Italian
Conversation Table; ask your instructor for more details.

courses can be taken in other departments here or abroad and may be used to fulfill other requirements as
well.
Minor: The Italian Minor offers two options. 1) Option 1: 18 units combining lower and upper division
courses. For example: 102+201+202+3 upper-division courses; 2) Option 2: 12 units, 4 upper-division
courses.
USD Core Requirements: Some upper-division Italian courses can be used to fulfill the requirements for
the major and minor as well as general core requirements such as the 3 units in Literature, 3 units in
courses with a Diversity designation, 3 units in upper-division Writing.
