Avanti - Summary of the instructor benefits for this program:
1. Focused Approach / Flexible Content: Avanti! responds to instructors’ concerns about trying to cover too much material in the first year. This full program reflects a reasonable expectation for the amount of material that most beginning learners can acquire in a basic Italian program.
2. Communicative Competence: Avanti! satisfies students’ desire to communicate in everyday situations from the verybeginning through a guided and gradual process of acquisition. Supported by authentic videos that open each chapter, students see and hear Italians of all ages and backgrounds using high-frequency, practical expressions that students can begin using immediately.
3. Cultural Competence: Avanti! provides a meaningful and extensive exploration of Italy’s gorgeous and unique culture supported by videos that showcase multiple Italian regions, cultural readings and interactive activities.
4. Recycling of vocabulary and grammar structures for maximum exposure is a key feature of Avanti! Every fourth chapter provides practice of four previously taught grammar points, which are then followed by a related topic helping instructors to naturally incorporate language building process into their class time.
5. Exceptional Digital Resources: Improve student learning outcomes by pairing Avanti with our suite of digital resources within the Connect platform, such as LearnSmart, brand-new Italian grammar tutorials and more.
