Italian in Venice ITAL1203OC. Intensive Intermediate Italian. 6 points.
Prerequisites: One year of college-level Italian or the equivalent. Instructor: TBD
The equivalent of Italian 1201/1202. This intensive second year course allows students to develop listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills in Italian and a better understanding of Italian culture. Students are involved in activities outside the classroom, where they gather information on Italian cultural topics through interviews and surveys that allow them to engage directly with the local community. Upon successful completion of this course, students should be able to:
use a sufficient range of language to be able to give clear description;
express viewpoints on most general topics;
show a relatively high degree of grammatical control;
use cohesive devices to link their utterances into clear and coherent discourse;
give detailed descriptions and presentations on a wide range of subjects related to their fields of interest, expanding and supporting their ideas;
write clear and detailed text on a variety of subjects related to their field of interest, synthesizing and evaluating information and arguments;
understand straightforward factual information about common everyday life;
interact with a degree of fluency and spontaneity that makes for regular interaction;
express news and views effectively in writing, and relate to those of others;
express themselves appropriately in different cultural and communicative situations;
and be aware of the most significant differences between the customs, usages, attitudes, values, and beliefs prevalent in the Italian culture and those of their own.
Please note: If you have completed Intensive 1, you are welcome to enroll in the Intensive Intermediate course. You will be expected to enroll in the full 6-point course. While there will be some overlap in the coursework that you already completed at Columbia, it will benefit you to be in Venice to reinforce and enhance your language studies before continuing on to new material. Upon successful completion of the course, you will be awarded 4 points for the Intensive course.

MENA4100OC: Migration, Displacement and Diaspora in the Contemporary Mediterranean. 3 points.
Instructor:
Madeleine Dobie
Taught in English.
This course is approved as a Global Core at Columbia.
This course examines the social, political and cultural history of migration in the Mediterranean,
with a particular focus on France and Africa. We examine the forces that have underpinned
migration in the nations of the Mediterranean rim since the 1950s and observe major transitions
in policy and legal frameworks. Though migration is often treated in mainstream media as an
object of policy and legislation, it is better approached as a ‘total social fact’ involving political,
social, economic and cultural dimensions. With this in mind, we look at different media, genres
and narrative forms in which migration has been represented and debated and grapple with
questions about the relationship between lived experience and representation and between
politics and the arts.
