Course Exposes Students to Great Italian Authors

In Spring 2012 Italian 222, “Introduction to Modern Italian Literature and Film,” has a record enrollment of 15 students.  This is the most advanced Italian course offered at ISU, and one that Professor Druker really enjoys teaching.  Students are reading and writing about works of literature published in the last 15 years by some of Italy’s best contemporary writers.  In addition, they are watching and writing about highly acclaimed contemporary films, including Gomorrah, a fearless exposé of the Neapolitan mafia.

Coffee Italian Style…

Students and instructors of Italian continue to meet for coffee and Italian conversation once a month.  In Spring 2012, you will find us at Coffee Hound (205 North St, Normal) between 4:00 to 5:00 PM on Wednesday, February 15, Wednesday, march 21 and Wednesday, April 25.

Students of all Italian language abilities, as well as alumni and members of the community, are warmly invited to attend.
