Opis

Foundations Italian 2 is part of the only language series to be written specifically for the institution-wide language programmes (IWLPs) in HE institutions where languages are taught to non-specialist undergraduates. The series is designed to fit the two semester year, with in-built supplementary material to cater for different numbers of contact hours and abilities. Written by experienced IWLP practitioners the series is carefully tailored to meet the needs and interests of HE students. This is a post-beginner's course, and follows on from the highly successful Foundations Italian 1. Two cassettes are available with a site licence included in the price. Digital audio is also available to institutions. Tapescripts are available free on request.

Italian 2

Foundations Italian 2 is a lively, interactive post-beginner's Italian course. The book follows on neatly from the end of Foundations Italian 1 but does not presuppose any familiarity with the specific content of the first book.

• Designed specifically for IWLPs (including language options and electives, Languages for all, Open Learning Programmes and similar) so fits into the 20-24 week teaching year
• Top team of series editor and authors with wide experience of IWLPs
• A lively, creative classroom course with integrated pairwork and groupwork opportunities
• Offers a wealth of extended reading and listening material
• Scripted and unscripted dialogues provide a diverse range of audio material
• Contains a comprehensive self-study section for non-contact hours
• Written for the non-specialist HE/FE student – filled with relevant examples for the learner, a move away from the more tourist-based approach often found in language courses
