A lively and popular introductory textbook teaching Italian to absolute
beginners working in a classroom setting. A diverse range of dialogues,
video clips, and reading passages deliver new material which is
carefully practised in a wide variety of imaginative exercises, both
individually and in pair- and groupwork, and backed up by structured
grammatical underpinning and exercises. Students can access their free
e-book (a code comes with each book) for all accompanying audio and
video resources. Lecturers can access audio and video online along with
a wealth of extra resources. A substantial self-study section offers
practice material for homework and revision, and for extension purposes.
Foundations Languages courses are tailor-made for undergraduates and
other students on Institution-wide Languages Programmes (IWLPs),
languages options and electives, ab initio and minor routes in
languages, and open learning programmes at universities and in Adult
Education. Foundations Italian 1 assumes no previous knowledge.
