Italian has become one of the world's fastest growing languages, as well as its related fields of inquiry into cinema, popular culture and media studies, according to the Department of European Studies, Italian Studies, at San Diego State University. Its relevancy in arts and humanities, including literature, theatre, history, art history and music, as well as the social and political sciences makes it a very popular, and sought after discipline.
"We have to teach language in context," stated Professor Clarissa Clo, Associate Professor of Language and European Studies, and Director of its Italian Language Program.
