Sentieri guides students to experience and learn introductory Italian via pathways toward meaningful communication, all while exploring contemporary Italian culture.
With its rich, contemporary cultural representation of everyday Italian life, Sentieri helps students gain the necessary input via interactive tutorials, authentic videos, engaging artwork, and other forms of realia that help them negotiate meaning with oral and written communication. Students connect with native speakers and each other to practice their interpersonal communication with a low affective filter in order to increase output.
