“AI and Italian: An Algorithm for Success” was the theme of the seventeenth annual Teaching Italian Symposium/Workshops, Montclair State University’s annual professional development program for teachers of Italian. A signature collaboration between the Italian program’s Prof.ssa Enza Antenos and the Coccia Institute for the Italian Experience in America, this year’s program featured three intensive, hands-on workshops led by Profs. Marco Lettieri (University of Puerto Rico), Daria Mizza (American University in Cairo), and Carmela Scala (Rutgers University) and a lively panel discussion moderated by Symposium Chair Prof.ssa Enza Antenos. Also on the agenda: the presentation of the Coccia-Inserra Award for Excellence and Innovation in the Teaching of Italian (K-12) was presented to Joseph Marquette (Portsmouth High School, New Hampshire) and introductory remarks and congratulations delivered by Dr. Peter Kingstone, Dean of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences.
