The selections in L'Italia verso il Duemila range from essays on serious topics such as recent history and politics, the Italian economy, immigration from developing countries, the North-South gap, and the environment, to lighter pieces on Italian surnames, traditions, food, popular music, and soccer. Suggested activities designed to facilitate development of language skills, comprehension, and grammar review accompany the readings.Although it requires a knowledge of basic grammar, L'Italia verso il Duemila may be used as early as the second semester of an intensive beginning Italian course. The book is organized into three sections: Tradizioni, Storia e politica contemporanea, and Sviluppi, each representing an increasing level of difficulty. Definitions are given for vocabulary that is likely to be unfamiliar to students.This book is designed to offer students and instructors material to suit a wide range of individual tastes while reinforcing the basic language skills essential for achieving competence in a foreign language. 606 $aItalian language$vReaders$xItaly$xCivilization 606 $aItalian language$vTextbooks for foreign speakers$xEnglish 607 $aItaly$xCivilization 615 0$aItalian language$xItaly$xCivilization. 615 0$aItalian language$xEnglish. 676 $a458.6/421 700 $aSkubikowski$b Ugo$0450428 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812770003321 996 $aL'Italia verso il Duemila$93972670 997 $aUNINA
