Contatti 1 ─ A First Course in Italian

Contatti 1 Activity Book is a workbook accompanying Contatti 1, the first-stage Italian course for adult learners, providing a wealth of material designed to reinforce and extend the material in the coursebook. It mirrors the fourteen units offering a variety of exercises, homework tasks and self-access activities to provide further practice. Each unit contains:

* topics reviewed with further vocabulary and extension activities
* reinforcement and clarification of grammatical structures with additional tasks and exercises
* extra reading material and stimulus to writing

The final page in each unit contains an overview of the whole with extra reading and writing activities, a short text of cultural interest and a self-assessment checklist enabling students to review what they have learned. The book finishes with a complete Answer Key.

The Activity Book is a valuable resource for students and teachers alike. It can be used to complement the coursebook, providing extra material for fast learners or homework activities to consolidate what has been learned in class. It can also be used for self-access and as a general practice workbook for beginners in Italian.
