Three term-long study abroad programs alternate with four programs every other
year. Students consistently cite these programs as high points in their
Dartmouth careers.
Language Study Abroad (LSA) in Rome
In Rome, the LSA program offers intermediate language instruction and a
wide-ranging exposure to Italian life and culture. Students live with local
families and take three Dartmouth courses taught exclusively in Italian:
- Italian 3, Intermediate Italian solidifies the students' knowledge and
usage of essential grammar skills.
- Italian 5, Civilization, taught by faculty members from Italy, immerses
students in the cultural and artistic life of Rome.
- Italian 6, Readings in Italian Literature, taught by the Dartmouth faculty
person in residence, allows students to use their growing mastery of the
Italian language in readings and discussions of masterworks in the original
language.
These courses are supplemented by excursions to museums and neighboring
towns.
Advanced Language Study Abroad (LSA+) in Rome
The Advanced Language Study Abroad (LSA+) in Rome offers intermediate
students the possibility to immerse themselves in one of the most remarkable of
Western cultures in one of its most emblematic cities. Rome is without parallel
in its cultural riches. This program allows students to develop their
linguistic skills by living and studying in the stimulating environment of a
major European capital.
Students live with Italian families and take three Dartmouth courses taught
exclusively in Italian:
- Italian 8, Exploring Italian Culture and Language, serves as an
introduction to modern and contemporary Italian literature, culture and
society.
- Italian 10, Introduction to Italian Literature, is taught by the Dartmouth
professor. This course offers a general introduction to Italian literature.
Topics vary according to the interest of the instructor.
- Italian 12, Advanced Writing and Speaking in Italian, is an advanced
language and composition course in which students will work with a wide range
of linguistic and cultural materials in order to achieve competence in Italian
grammar, and oral and written expression.
Starting in the Fall of 2007, the LSA+ will be offered every Fall term, and
every alternate Spring term.
