A course in a foreign language provides students more than just learning a different language. These courses immerse students in the culture and history of a country, giving them insight into the bigger world around them.
What is a course in Italian studies? These courses are for students aspiring to become proficient in the Italian language and culture. Introductory courses focus on writing and speaking the language, and the grammar and syntax associated with it, as well as acquaint students with the different cultures and history of Italy. While courses are available for learning the language only, many students take them as part of interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary studies toward a minor or major. These courses cover a range of subjects including art, cinema, fashion, history, politics and contemporary Italy.
Students enrolled in these courses not only learn a new language, but also gain further insight into their own. It also can make it easier to learn other Romance languages, such as French or Portuguese. Students also hone their listening and communication skills, abilities imperative in any career.
Costs for these courses are similar to others and depend on duration and location. Students also have the option to study abroad, which involves additional costs.
While students who only learn the language will reap many benefits, careers in this field are more geared toward students who studied Italian for more than two years as part of a degree. Students fluent in Italian can seek careers as a translator, interpreter or teacher, at home and across the globe. Translators are especially sought after in the realm of politics, as well as bilingual diplomats. Italy may be known for its arts and food, but many foreign companies operate in the country. Business careers may include an international public relations manager, director of sales or purchasing agent.
