Reading & Comprehension (Amalfi's Mt. Pleasant)
Details
*Time: 6:00-7:00 pm
*Dates: 6 MONDAYS, June 3, 10, 24, Jul 1, 8, 15 (Exact dates subject to change; Shannon will let you know.)
*Instructor: Shannon
*Price: $40 for all 6 weeks. Buy the textbook (below) yourself before the 1st class.
*Materials needed before class starts: We're using a book called "Read & Think Italian" which you can find on Amazon at http://tinyurl.com/b8k4v54. This is a wonderful book made up of about 100 articles on various aspects of Italian culture, and even has an accompanying CD. Because of how much material is in here, this book will be used for future Reading & Comprehension courses.
*NOTE ABOUT REGISTRATION: The minimum number of students for this class is 3. If fewer than 3 people sign up, this class will not go forward. Thanks for understanding. (Contact Erin about tutoring with Gian Paolo if you're interested in that option.)
*This class is good for: Those at the level of advanced beginner-intermediate who want to challenge themselves and improve their comprehension.
*Description of class: In this class you'll improve comprehension as well as pronunciation. In class, students will take turns reading paragraphs aloud, then we'll go back to the start and translate sentence by sentence. This is an opportunity to see what you've learned (vocabulary, grammar elements, and verbs) in context and to try to understand the nuances of everyday language usage. The structure of this course is that each class period is self-contained, meaning you read something new each time and it's not a continuing story.
