Via del Corso

Authors: Pierangela Diadori  Telis Marin 

This motivating communicative course is packed with engaging content to make learning Italian simple, enjoyable, and effective. The course is based around a story - a comic noir - that unfolds via a sitcom-style video series and graphic novel. These are both fully integrated into the course, along with original cultural videos, all of which present practical and idiomatic language in an authentic contemporary context. The systematic structure promotes steady progression in both grammar and vocabulary. The range of multimedia, games and interactive activities throughout retains students' interest and encourages communication in Italian from the very first lesson.

The course is complemented by a range of online resources including an interactive version of the exercise section, a digital version of the student's book, progress tests, games, audio, video and multilingual glossaries.

In addition, a new boxed card game "Gioco di società" is also available to support the teaching of the course at beginners level A1.

Provisional publication dates of the further levels as follows: Near Beginners A2 - July 2018, Intermediate B1 - May 2019, Upper Intermediate B2 - May 2020.
