Study French and Italian
in New Zealand
University of Auckland New ZealandThe School of European Languages and Literatures at The University of
Auckland is considered to be one of the premier academic and
professional programmes in Australasia. Its solid reputation reflects
the breadth of its courses (some of which are the only ones offered in
those languages and cultures in the whole Pacific region) as well as the
many strengths in teaching and research found amongst its staff. The
School has about twenty-five full-time academic staff who have expertise
in most of the major European cultural and literary traditions, as they
embrace both Continental Europe and its former overseas colonies, span
medieval to modern periods, and include contemporary developments in the
Pacific region.
Distance teaching options (ITALIAN 166 and 167; FRENCH
161 and FRENCH 162) exist for beginners' and advanced beginners'
language.
The Distance Learning courses are delivered via CD ROMs, the
internet, and printed material and have
the same academic value (credits) as the ones taken on Campus.
Italian
Italian
introduces students to a culture that has exerted a fascination much
greater than the size of the country alone warrants. People travel to
Italy to see the remnants of ancient Roman civilization, to visit
museums, galleries and churches displaying magnificent works of art
dating from the Middle Ages and Renaissance, to discover the origins of
modern European music and opera, and to savour the atmosphere of some of
the most beautiful cities in the world, including Florence, Venice, and
Rome.
ITALIAN 166
Course Description
This course is 11 weeks long and is designed to introduce students to
the Italian language and culture basics as well as build students'
language learning confidence, enhance their communication and
problem-solving skills and facilitate the students' drive towards a
life-long language learning experience. The following expressions help
in describing this course:
- Distance: students who do not have access or time to attend
campus classes are able to enroll.
- Flexible: students can study at the time and pace that best suits
them.
- Multi-media: video and audio clips and computer-mediated text
from a variety of sources provide students with examples of
authentic language.
- Interactive: course material is interactive and students also
have the opportunity to interact with peers and their tutor.
- Personalized: students will be in constant touch with their tutor
via e-mail and the feedback will therefore be prompt and detailed.
- Integrative: each unit builds on the previously learned language
and communication skills.

French
French
is either the first or second official language in a
great many of the world's nations, and embodies rich and
diverse cultural histories. A leader in the spheres of
art and literature, science and technology, France is
also the fourth world economic power. The study of
French involves language acquisition as well as
knowledge and understanding of the culture, history and
literature of France and the French-speaking world.
Rewards from the study of languages and literatures are
perhaps greatest in the areas of personal growth and the
acquisition of abilities that make for informed,
flexible, independent and creative minds.
