Goals, Objectives, and Expected Outcomes


Goal I. General Linguistic Proficiency

To offer courses that provide our students with the linguistic and intercultural competence necessary to communicate in Italian. The language is taught with emphasis on interpretive, interpersonal, and presentational modes of communication.

Objectives: Communicative and Intercultural Competence

Expected Outcomes

Students will demonstrate the ability to communicate in Italian with an appropriate breadth of vocabulary and registers with interlocutors not accustomed to the speaking of language learners; they will be able to read and write texts in formal, literary, and academic registers.

Students will demonstrate a general understanding of appropriate cross-cultural behaviors.

Goal II. Cultural Proficiency

To offer courses that provide our students with the skills necessary to critically engage with Italian cultural phenomena. Literature and culture are taught with emphasis on the ways in which distinctive types of language shape different meanings and on their relation to historically and culturally specific contexts. In addition to cultural courses taught in Italian, cultural courses taught in English provide the same skills to students without prior knowledge of Italian and Italian American culture.

Objectives: Critical analysis of Italian cultural products

Expected Outcomes

Students will demonstrate the ability to examine critically and analyze cultural products in themselves and in relation to their historically and culturally specific context.

Students will demonstrate the ability to communicate effectively the results of their analysis, both in oral and in written form, and to use those results to construct new arguments and formulate new questions on topics concerning Italian culture.

Goal III. Professional Preparation

To offer courses that allow students to specialize in Italian literature and culture, and to equip with the necessary skills those students who wish to enter postgraduate programs in Italian or in related fields.

Objectives: Critical analysis of creative forms of expression and ability to formulate new questions about them according to methods and approaches appropriate to the discipline.

Expected Outcomes

Students will demonstrate familiarity with major movements, genres, and authors from different time periods as well as the ability to critically analyze and interpret Italian texts (verbal and visual) according to methods and approaches specific to the discipline of literary and cultural studies. Students will demonstrate the ability to communicate according to the modes appropriate to the discipline, both in oral and in written form, and to formulate new questions about their objects of analysis.
