This module forms part of the core Level 3 programme in European Languages (Italian Minor) and is one of the three written language courses taken in that year. It thus follows on from the appropriate module in earlier years (IT20120, IT21530) and aims to deepen students' understanding of Italian as a written language with the emphasis on the ability to translate accurately and idiomatically from Italian. Students who successfully complete the module should feel that they comprehend and translate accurately from a variety of registers of Italian.
