Write the authors, &#8220;In writing this book, our goals were to reduce costs for students in the hopes of making Italian a more inclusive language learning experience, as well as to offer the opportunity to learn about Italian language and culture to a more diverse group of learners. Through this project, we want to reduce the technological barriers to learning and create a resource that reflects more diverse experiences, as traditional Italian texts are often heteronormative and tend to minimize more progressive cultural elements and the minority experience in Italy. The intended outcome is for more students to reach higher levels on the ACTFL (American Council for the Teaching of Foreign Languages) proficiency scale, and to grow our community, especially including traditionally underrepresented groups.&#8221;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Additional Open and Zero-cost Resources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.merlot.org\/merlot\/materials.htm?category=2476&amp;sort.property=overallRating&amp;fromAdvancedSearch=true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MERLOT Materials for Italian<\/a><br>These materials for Italian-language instruction are from MERLOT\u2019s World Languages Collection.<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.coerll.utexas.edu\/coerll\/italian\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Italian resources from COERLL<\/a><br>This collection of open Italian materials is from the U.S. Department of Education\u2013funded Center for Open Educational Resources and Language Learning (COERLL).<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Find open and zero-cost resources for classes in Italian.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5629,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"portfolio_post_id":0,"portfolio_citation":"","portfolio_annotation":"","openlab_post_visibility":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[7,4],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-2298","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-humanities","7":"category-oer-by-subject","8":"czr-hentry"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/oeratbmcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2298","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/oeratbmcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/oeratbmcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/oeratbmcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5629"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/oeratbmcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2298"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/oeratbmcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2298\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2305,"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/oeratbmcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2298\/revisions\/2305"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/oeratbmcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2298"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/oeratbmcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2298"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/oeratbmcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2298"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
