Opis

Developing Writing Skills in Italian has been devised for intermediate to advanced students of Italian who need to write Italian in the course of their leisure activities, work or study.

Developing Writing Skills in Italian has been specifically designed for upper-intermediate students of Italian who need to write Italian for personal, business and academic purposes.

With a strong focus on writing as a meaningful and valuable skill in itself, Developing Writing Skills in Italian supports the learner throughout the process of writing, from the planning and drafting stages to the revising and editing of a final version, enriching and extending the learners’ lexical, grammatical and communicative writing skills.

Divided into four logically structured sections the learner can work through a range of realistic and contextualised writing tasks which will allow them to master a variety of styles, registers and formats.

Features include:

• flexible structure
• summary of learning points clearly indicated at the beginning of each chapter

• focus on self assessment, allowing students to engage fully in the writing process by evaluating their own work
• glossary of key phrases and useful vocabulary

 

This course is suitable both for classroom use and independent study. Assessment guides, a teacher’s guide, answer key and supplementary activities are all available on the accompanying website.
