Description:Designed for intermediate and advanced Italian culture and conversation courses, PAROLA A TE! focuses on Italy's social, political, economic, demographic, and cultural issues. It draws a link between the country's past and present and aims to make students aware that in spite of their fascination with Italian popular culture, tradition and history are still an integral part of Italian society. PAROLA A TE! includes extensive use of computer technology ("Sul web"), audio materials ("Ascoltiamo!"), and video-based activities ("Sulla strada").
