Exploring Modern Italy for Heritage Learners of Italian
Abstract
Americans of Italian descent are re-discovering their heritage in the 21st century. While there are a plethora of classes and learning apps that can teach the basics of the language, few are designed to assist learners through the daunting intermediate stage of language learning. Furthermore, none exist as an accessible means to advance the language among heritage speakers. The goal of this module is to provide such a structure which introduces contemporary Italy to a previously disconnected diaspora.
