This course is a continuation of ITA101. It will therefore help students to perfect their basic vocabulary and knowledge of language elements and to complement these with some slightly more complex structures aimed at raising communication and comprehension skills in standard everyday situations. During the course students will acquire the abilities to narrate past events and biographical episodes, holidays, journeys etc, using the "passato prossimo" past tense. Students are expected to make a simple oral presentation on a given topic during the course.
