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.
Record Enrollments in Italian!

The ISU Italian program is thriving.  For the first time ever, we found it necessary to offer four sections of first-semester Italian in Fall 2011 to accommodate record enrollments. This spike in interest is due, in part, to the new on-line textbooks that we have adopted.  Student engagement with these new materials has been impressive.

We take this opportunity to welcome our new adjunct instructor of Italian, Laura Edwards!  Professor Edwards, who has traveled and lived extensively in northeastern Italy, already serves the Department very ably as an instructor of French and as our academic adviser.
