Subject Description
Two Cultures, One Soul
Learners use Italian to communicate and interact with each other and with online resources, to access and exchange information and to express feelings and opinions. They develop strategies for self-correction by referencing to their developing understanding of grammar and context. They explore language variation and change, noticing how intercultural experience, technology, media and globalisation influence language use and forms of communication. Learners investigate links between the Italian language and cultural representation and expression.
The key learning intentions are to build student understanding of Italian language and culture
and confidence in speaking and using Italian, to understand that there are many similarities and
differences between Italian and Australian language and culture.
Each term, students will engage with two summative assessment tasks and one formative task. One summative task will be a verbal assessment task and one will be a written task. The formative task will be a project about Italian culture and/or a cooking class. Grammar such as Italian sentence structure and adjectives, will be explicitly taught.
