A lively and popular textbook teaching Italian to post-beginners working in a classroom setting. A diverse range of dialogues, and reading passages deliver new material which is carefully practised in a wide variety of imaginative exercises, both individually and in pair- and groupwork, and backed up by structured grammatical underpinning and exercises. A substantial self-study section offers practice material for homework and revision, and for extension purposes. All the audio is available free-to-access as MP3 files online.

Foundations Languages courses are tailor-made for undergraduates and other students on Institution-wide Languages Programmes (IWLPs), languages options and electives, ab initio and minor routes in languages, and open learning programmes at universities and in Adult Education. Foundations Italian 2 is ideal for students with some basic GCSE or other beginner's knowledge. It can be used as a successor to Foundations Italian 1, or following any similar beginner's course.
