Welcome To Intermediate Italian Language at UCSD!
About LTIT 2A/2B/50
After completing LIIT 1C/CX, you will next take LTIT 2A (Literature Department):
- LTIT 2A/2B/50 courses review the grammar you learned in first year Italian.
- LTIT 2A/2B/50 are intermediate language courses (not literature courses). Their aim is to develop fluency in the Italian language and to inspire enthusiasm for all aspects of Italian culture.
- 2A is a prerequisite for 2B. Therefore, all students who are planning to take a full year of intermediate Italian should enroll in 2A during the fall.
- If you are planning to go to Bologna with EAP, you will need to complete LTIT 2A/2B/50 (as the program requires two years of Italian).
- Unlike first-year Italian (which has different components), 2A/2B/50 is taught by one instructor. You will receive one grade for each course.
- LTIT 2A/2B meet for 4 hours per week, and LTIT 50 meets for 3 hours per week.
- LTIT 2A/2B/50 all use the same set of textbooks.
The Italian Studies Program is an interdisciplinary program in the language, literature, history, music, theatre and art of Italy. Italian Studies coordinates the resources of the Departments of History, Literature, Music, Theatre and Dance, and Visual Arts, and offers students the opportunity to design a major, leading to a B.A., around the course offerings of these five departments.
