language so as to reproduce it
you reinforce your knowledge of
language by its use in different
contexts
10. I hope that…

which will help you to predict
problem areas
which uses ethnographic materials
for language learning
which permits a variety of texts and
media
21. Frequentanti path
a portfolio: analysis of your language
learning path (before & after the

a cd with 3 songs of your history
+ oral exam on portfolio with a
