Book description
Are you looking for an improver's course in Italian which will make
you sound like a native? If you already know some Italian and want to
take it further, Perfect your Italian will guarantee success! Taking
you from a good GCSE level (level B2 of the Common European
Framework), this course teaches you advanced structures and vocabulary
so that by the end of the course you will be at GCE Advanced Level,
CEF level C1: Can express him/herself fluently and spontaneously
without much obvious searching for expressions. Can use language
flexibly and effectively for social, academic and professional purposes.
Full of authentic texts and dialogues about complex subjects, this
course covers a wide range of topics of the sort you will want to talk
about when in Italy and teaches you the kind of everyday language and
features of speech that will enable you to communicate with confidence
and feel comfortable taking part in conversation with native speakers
of Italy. The choice of material aims to give you something of the
flavour of Italy today and each unit is based around a single theme
with lively interviews and conversations on the accompanying
recording. There are activities based on the interviews and texts to
help you remember what you've learnt and put your knowledge into
practice. The units are divided into sessions - to help you organize
your learning time and break up the material into manageable chunks -
and there are reminders throughout to refresh your memory of points
you have learnt.
Now fully updated to make your language learning experience fun and
interactive. You can still rely on the benefits of a top language
teacher and our years of teaching experience, but now with added
learning features within the course and online.
