{"product_id":"9780077736446","title":"Avanti!","description":"    Informed by second-language acquisition research and supported by cutting-edge digital tools, the complete Avanti! program creates a dynamic    learning environment that fosters communication and motivates students to succeed. With Connect and LearnSmart, Avanti's    learning platform gives instructors maximum flexibility to structure the learning experience inside and outside the classroom. Avanti! is known    for its focus on the most critical language for communication, its active presentation of vocabulary and grammar, systematic review and recycling, and    inclusion of real-world culture. With Avanti!, students not only learn Italian- they develop a deep appreciation for Italian culture.    The Avanti! program is built around the following principles:    Focused Approach \/ Flexible Content:     Avanti!    responds to instructors’ concerns that most programs attempt to cover too much material in the first year. Informed by second-language acquisition    research, this introductory course reflects a reasonable expectation for the amount of material that most beginning learners can acquire in one year of    classroom instruction. The Strutture sections include the core structures that are necessary for meaningful communication at the    elementary level. Additional structures are either presented “for recognition only” or appear in Per saperne di piu with associatedinductive presentations and activities in Connect, giving instructors maximum flexibility to teach the grammar they want to teach. The    Connect platform includes an assignment builder feature that allows instructors to fully customize the course content to meet the needs of    their particular students. Instructors may choose to assign all or some of the textbook and workbook activities as well as some or all of the grammar    points presented in Per saperne di più, based on their course goals and the course delivery method: face-to-face, hybrid, or online. A    major highlight of the fourth edition is the addition of 25 engaging Grammar Tutorial Videos that present key grammar    points with related practice activities.    Communicative Competence:     Avanti!satisfies students’ desire to communicate in everyday situations from the very beginning through a guided and gradual process of acquisition. In the    Strategie di comunicazione videos that open each chapter, students see and hear Italians of all ages and backgrounds using high-frequency,    practical expressions that students can immediately begin using. The Lessico sections have been revised to include the most up-to-date    high-frequency vocabulary in use today. The Strutture sections guide students from working with Italian at the word- and sentence-level    until they arrive at the final section of each chapter, Cultura, where they engage in listening, reading, writing, and speaking activities    at the discourse level. Outside of class, Connect provides voice tools such as Blackboard Instant Messaging for partner","brand":"Janice Aski","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48588278563134,"sku":"9780077736446","price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/files\/9780077736446_e1e8587c-46fa-407c-aada-88d676bdfe00.jpg?v=1715107235","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9780077736446","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
