At the end of the course students are expected to be able to apply their grammar knowledge to producing correct English versions of Italian texts, reading comprehension and précis. Sixteen hours of self-study listening tasks in the language laboratory are compulsory. Students are expected todo a considerable amount of work as preparation for lessons.
