{"product_id":"interpretazioni-italian-language-and-culture-through-film-9781626166844","title":"Interpretazioni: Italian Language and Culture Through Film","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eInterpretazioni\u003c\/i\u003e is an intermediate- to advanced-level Italian textbook that aims to teach language through film, focusing on Italian movies from 2010 to 2017. Teaching language through cinema is a widespread and proven practice that engages all four main language skills (speaking, listening, reading, writing), and \u003ci\u003eInterpretazioni\u003c\/i\u003e utilizes the proven format and pedagogy of Pausini and Antonello Borra's previous book, \u003ci\u003eItalian Through Film\u003c\/i\u003e (Yale UP, 2003), which is regarded highly among teachers. Films featured in \u003ci\u003eInterpretazioni\u003c\/i\u003e span genres, address a wide range of themes, and are set in various parts of Italy, encouraging students and teachers to more fully engage with the complexity of Italian cinema. As in \u003ci\u003eItalian through Film\u003c\/i\u003e, the activities based on the films are divided into three main categories (before, during, and after viewing the film) with a natural progression from warm-up questions to closed and controlled exercises to open-ended and creative tasks-both oral and written-including grammar practice, all within the context of each single film. An instructor's manual with answer keys and suggestions on using apps for teaching is available on the www.press.georgetown.edu website.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCristina Pausini\u003c\/b\u003e is Senior Lecturer and Coordinator of the Italian Language Program at Tufts University.
