Crescendo! by Francesco Italiano
A comprehensive intermediate Italian language course, designed to build proficiency in all four language skills - listening, reading, speaking and writing - and to expand students' cultural knowledge of contemporary Italy. The text focuses on using the language in meaningful contexts rather than merely memorising abstract concepts. Grammar and vocabulary are taught throughout the book for their communicative value and not as ends in themselves. The chapters are organized thematically, and cover modern subjects representing Italian life - including family, childhood and youth, future perspectives, traditions, vacations, cities and provinces, history, government, economy, social questions, mass media and publicity.Francesca Italiano is the Italian Language Director and a Professor of 18th century literature and literary theory at the University of Southern California. She is the author of CRESCENDO! and Incontri Attuali, a literary reader for intermediate and advanced Italian language classes. She also oversees the Verona summer program. She graduated from USC with a Master of Science in Education and a Ph.D. in Education. University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA)
