Description

La nuova Prova orale 2 is the second collection of a modern and updated conversation manual, which aims at providing all the necessary support to students at a B2-C2 level, to help improve their oral production and mediation skills, and to help them prepare for the speaking tests of the main Italian language certification exams.

The book is organized in 4 sections:

• Thematic units, which make up the central part of the book. They present a number of current affairs topics that allow students to talk about most aspects of modern life, thanks to a rich number of questions and tasks which encourage discussion and debate. The units are in order of difficulty;
• Communicative tasks, which allow students to practise problem solving skills similar to those found in the various speaking exams of the Italian language certifications, for example in the CELI 3 exam;
• Proverbs and aphorisms, which allow the student to practise analysing and commenting famous phrases, as for example in the CELI 5 exam;
• The glossary, which allows the student to consult the meaning of more complex words in order to complete each single unit.

La nuova Prova orale 2 can be used in the classroom with students who have completed about 200 hours of lessons. Each unit provides 60-90 minutes of conversation material; each communicative task or proverbs and aphorisms exercise provide 10-20 minutes of activities and 15 to 30 minutes of conversation.
