ITALIAN IV - ECE

Italian IV ECE advances students’ proficiency in speaking, reading, writing, and listening while targeting ACTFL Intermediate Mid performance. In this course, students engage with authentic texts and media from target-language cultures and strengthen their composition, extended conversation, and cultural understanding. They deepen their command of advanced grammar structures, including the subjunctive, conditional, and complex sentence forms, as they explore meaningful topics. By the end of the level students can participate in exchanges on familiar and some unfamiliar topics, communicate across present, past, and future time frames, ask and answer a variety of questions, and comprehend both the main ideas and key details of conversations and texts, including authentic materials such as articles, short stories, and audio clips. Students may earn six college credits through the University of Connecticut’s Fall ILCS 3229 and Spring ILCS 3240 courses upon successful completion, depending on the requirements of the college they attend.
