Description

CALENDAR DESCRIPTION:

Follows ITAL 110. In addition to the consolidation of the four skills developed in ITAL 110 (listening, speaking, reading, and writing), and an expanded cultural component, the course includes selected readings from Italian authors (B1.1 level of CEFR)

COURSE DETAILS:

ITAL 200 is conceived as the continuation of ITAL 110. The course aims to strengthen the skills and knowledge acquired in previous courses. More sophisticated grammatical elements will be added, focusing on both written and aural/oral proficiency. At the same time, we will cover material that will lead to a better understanding of the geographical, historical and cultural background of Italy. The course includes selected readings from Italian authors and musical pieces from Italian songwriters (B1 level of CEFR).

Prerequisite: ITAL 110 or equivalent.

PLEASE NOTE: ITAL 200 adopts the “flipped classroom” method, which means that students are responsible for analyzing and studying the grammar topics beforehand at home, and then applying the rules in the classroom under the support and supervision of the instructor. Students will have asynchronous work to complete in their own time, and then they will meet weekly in person for a tutorial during the set scheduled class time.

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY: YOUR WORK, YOUR SUCCESS

SFU’s Academic Integrity web site http://www.sfu.ca/students/academicintegrity.html is filled with information on what is meant by academic dishonesty, where you can find resources to help with your studies and the consequences of cheating.  Check out the site for more information and videos that help explain the issues in plain English.

Each student is responsible for his or her conduct as it affects the University community.  Academic dishonesty, in whatever form, is ultimately destructive of the values of the University. Furthermore, it is unfair and discouraging to the majority of students who pursue their studies honestly. Scholarly integrity is required of all members of the University. http://www.sfu.ca/policies/gazette/student/s10-01.html

TEACHING AT SFU IN SPRING 2022

Teaching at SFU in spring 2022 will involve primarily in-person instruction, with safety plans in place.  Some courses will still be offered through remote methods, and if so, this will be clearly identified in the schedule of classes.  You will also know at enrollment whether remote course components will be “live” (synchronous) or at your own pace (asynchronous).

Enrolling in a course acknowledges that you are able to attend in whatever format is required.  You should not enroll in a course that is in-person if you are not able to return to campus, and should be aware that remote study may entail different modes of learning, interaction with your instructor, and ways of getting feedback on your work than may be the case for in-person classes.

Students with hidden or visible disabilities who may need class or exam accommodations, including in the context of remote learning, are advised to register with the SFU Centre for Accessible Learning (caladmin@sfu.ca or 778-782-3112) as early as possible in order to prepare for the spring 2022 term.
