The objective of the program is also to develop an under\u0002standing and appreciation of the culture, history and literature of Italy. Students are placed in Italian courses according to their previous study. In general one year of high-school Italian is equivalent to one semester at Pierce. Native speakers are encouraged to enroll in Italian 004, 005, or 006. All Italian courses are taught primarily in the language. However, the instructor may choose to clarify certain concepts in English when necessary. By the end of the first year, students are able to use the basic structure of the language and the practical vocabulary learned to converse on everyday topics, as well as to read and write at an elementary level. Italian 003 combines with Italian 008 (conversational Italian) to increase oral proficiency and also continues to raise the student's ability to read and write. In Italian 004, 005, 006, students gradually acquire more ease in expressing themselves orally and in writing. Combining a review of grammar with discussion and analysis of literary texts of increasing difficulty, these courses give students a broad overview of Italy and the Italian people and prepare students to live abroad. INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION Students are encouraged to participate in the International Education summer program of study in Florence whenever offered by Los Angeles Pierce College. CAREER OPPORTUNITIES Italian will enhance careers in international business or trade, fashion, medical research, the gourmet food industry. Italian is especially desir\u0002able for students of classic or opera music, art and humanities. TRANSFER STUDENTS Completing the Associate Degree does not necessarily meet the university-admission requirements for transfer. An Associate Degree is not a requirement for transfer to either the CSU or UC campuses. Private and out-of-state colleges and universities have unique transfer requirements. However, if you would like to transfer to a university and earn an associate degree, early educational planning can make this goal achievable. You should meet with a counselor early in your studies to develop an Educational Plan that fulfills both transfer requirements and associate degree requirements. See page 286 of this catalog for more information on transfer requirements and resources. PROGRAM LEARNING OUTCOMES Upon completion of this program, students will: • Students will demonstrate oral proficiency in the Italian language (at appropriate level as measured by the ACTFL rubric). • Students will demonstrate proficiency in the grammar (structure, tense, mood and syntax) of the Italian language. • Students will demonstrate Intermediate High to Advanced Low proficiency in writing and reading comprehension in the Italian language. • Students will exhibit basic knowledge of the social, political, cultural and economic conditions in the countries in which the Italian language is spoken.\n\nPlease see the college Catalog for the most up-to-date description."},"ceterms:accreditedBy":["_:6ae5db8c-4c8b-488b-abb3-9de6417f3ce3"],"ceterms:dateEffective":"1970-06-01","ceterms:occupationType":[{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://www.bls.gov/soc/","ceterms:targetNode":"https://www.onetonline.org/link/summary/25-1124.00","ceterms:codedNotation":"25-1124.00","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Standard Occupational Classification"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Foreign Language and Literature Teachers, Postsecondary"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Teach languages and literature courses in languages other than English.
