Percorsi: l'Italia attraverso la lingua e la cultura
Reviewer Quotes I thought the cultural presentations were very good.  They were far superior to most elementary texts…I am impressed by the quality of this text.  It has been well thought out, is up-to-date, and thorough in its presentation. ~ Elissa Tognozzi, UCLA I love the structure of the chapters.  It is very clear and progresses nicely, with an attractive blend of vocabulary, grammar, exercises, and explanations, that sustains the attention and keeps the chapter interesting and varied.  I am very impressed.~Cristina Mazzoni, University of Vermont I find the many suggestions for practice very attractive, especially those for group work.  I also like that all practice is contextualized, and that the vocabulary is also pertinent to the topic.           ~ Cinzia Noble, Brigham Young University One thing I continue to love is the deductive reasoning approach toOcchio alla linguaand having students think and find patterns.  I believe this kind of conscious awareness is particularly helpful for adult language learners. ~ Colleen Ryan-Scheutz, University of Notre Dame The well-conceivedStrategie di letturaandStrategie per scriveresections are another noteworthy feature ofPercorsi.  No other beginning Italian textbook on the American market can matchPercorsiwith regard to the attention given to promote students reading and writing skills.  Percorsi is truly a superb textbook. ~ Marina de Fazio, University of Kansas
