Course objectives
The work in the block Practical Exercises in Italian 5 builds on the previous blocks of Practical Exercises in Italian and is focused on the further development of communicative skills and the expansion of vocabulary in the range of topics defined in the syllabi. Grammar knowledge is further strengthened. The ability to understand spoken speech and written text is developed by listening to authentic recordings and reading more complex texts, on the basis of which the ability to converse fluently on a personal, work and social topic can be established. The ability to express oneself in writing on more complex topics and the ability to present and justify one's own opinions are further developed. The text for reading and subsequent discussion is changed and updated.
