Innovatively structured in the same way as a piece of music (Prelude - introduction to activities; Movements - activities and Finale - grammar and evaluation), "Andante con brio" offers Italian language practice for intermediate-level students.

Throughout the numerous activities, students are encouraged to develop independent learning skills by consulting dictionaries and encyclopedias and to relate their findings to corresponding English expressions and terms used in the Press, on TV and in advertising.

The texts used are up-to-date, both linguistically and in terms of content, and incorporate a vast number of proverbs and sayings as well as other socio-cultural references which together provide an alternative approach to accessing the Italian language and its culture.
