Abstract

This course allows participants to practice Italian in a real-life situation: At the Zurich art museum (Kunsthaus), participants look at art works while listening to an Italian audio guide; they then discuss the art. The course alternates between seven museum visits and seven in-class lessons. At home, participants study their chosen art works in more depth and prepare oral and written summaries.

Objective

The course uses art as a means for participants to practice all four language skills: Reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Further activities enable participants to enhance vocabulary and grammar learning. Participants receive written feedback on their written work, and recurring errors are discussed in class.
