Abstract

This article analyzes three books suggested for level III (A2) students who are enrolled at Language Center and Interculturality (Celin) from Federal University
of Paraná (UFPR). Based on this analysis the article aims to offer an oral exam and a complementary online activity designed for one of the three recommended books. The three analyzed books are: Un Giorno Diverso, Il Manoscritto di Giotto (both graduated readings) and Alberto Moravia (adapted literature book), all from Edilingua publishing
house and ranked as A2-B1, according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. In order to carry out such analysis, the following criteria were taken into consideration: the selected reading book’s context of use and the teaching material used by students who are enrolled in the Italian course at Celin. The semantic fields, the intercultural aspects and the linguistic content of the three reading books and of the textbook are researched in the analysis. Based on the results of the analysis, the book Alberto Moravia was chosen and an oral test and a complementary online activity were prepared for this book, both based on the intercultural approach (KRAMSCH, 1993, 2017).
