Samuel Ghelli, Ph.D. - All books by this author
This brand-new manual is focused to reflect the most-often-asked questions on Advanced Placement Italian exams. It reviews all five parts of the exam: Listening, Reading, Writing, Culture, and Speaking, with exercises, answer keys, and detailed commentaries in all review sections. Study and test-taking strategies are presented in all sections. One mini-diagnostic test and two full-length model exams are also presented, and come with answer keys, explanations, and self-evaluation charts. An appendix contains a glossary, a list of Italian idioms, and a grammar review. Enclosed with this manual are three audio CDs presenting oral material for the exam’s Listening and Speaking sections.
