italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies Hello and Greetings from Ecuador, The university where I work has asked me to look for a good textbook to teach Italian at undergrad level. It is possible that there will be a distance education course as well for Italian. We could purchase the books directly from the publisher in the UK, Italy or the US. As a graduate of Italian, I am somewhat familiar with the older titles. However, I would be interested in hearing from professors who are using newer publications. I originally thought of recommending:* **Lingua Italiana Per Stranieri Corso Elem *(Italian Edition) [Paperback] Katerinov<http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=ntt_athr_dp_sr_1?_encoding=UTF8&sort=relevancerank&search-alias=books&field-author=Katerinov>(Author). My personal view is that the textbook should have a strong grammar component, as opposed to lots of communicative activities. Thank you in advance for your help, guidance and suggestions.
