Why study Italian Beginners? •

Italy is one of the most industrially and economically advanced nations in the world and ranks among Australia’s top international trading partners. Italy remains a strong buyer of Australian primary products, while Australia has been a consistent buyer of Italian technology and design.

Language learning interacts well with other subjects such as Music, Visual Arts, Geography, History, Hospitality or other languages to mention just a few. It even goes well with Mathematics and Science where students learn to hypothesise and experiment with new concepts. Students learn how to learn and relearn new things.

Italians and the Italian language make a distinctive contribution to politics, art, architecture, cuisine, music, science, literature, film and theatre. The study of Italian enhances students’ enjoyment and appreciation of these areas. Students have much to gain by acquiring knowledge of the language and cultural heritage of Italy.

The aim of the course is to foster within students the ability to: •

communicate with others

understand the connection between Italian and English and improve their English vocabulary and grammar

apply Italian to work, further study or leisure

develop their knowledge and understanding of Italian through communicative tasks across a range of themes and topics.

In the Year 11 course, students will develop their knowledge and understanding of Italian across a range of topics. These will be explored through the integrated use of the four skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing. In the HSC course, students will continue to develop their knowledge and understanding of Italian through these four skills. Study may cover new topics or more detailed treatment of topics previously studied.
