Abstract

D’accordo! is an intermediate Italian open-access textbook authored by the Italian faculty of The University of Iowa. A no-cost, user-friendly e-textbook, which may be fully integrated with educational platforms, D’Accordo! will support students’ acquisition of the grammar and vocabulary necessary for meaningful communication, enhance students’ familiarity with Italian culture through a variety of cultural artifacts, and, for majors and minors, create a bridge to upper-level courses. D'Accordo! is divided into three main sections: Grammar, Culture and Vocabulary. Following this division, the book offers an in-depth review of elementary level grammar. As the title suggests, the focus of the intermediate level grammar is on the various types of agreement that are essential features of the Italian language. D'Accordo! also introduces more complex syntactical structures, vocabulary, and cultural materials to help students develop greater fluency and cultural competency. It also presents a variety of contemporary cultural material that, in addition to more tradition subjects, deal with today's social and environmental issues, in hope to provide the students with topics of interest to them. D’Accordo! is designed to provide accessible and flexible resources for both self-instruction and classroom use.
