Navigating the streets and markets of Rome provides an invaluable opportunity for teachers to take their students' language learning out of the classroom and into the real world. They will be able to develop their speaking and listening skills while learning about Italian culture and regional dialects.
Subject Focus:
• KS 3-5: Take Italian language practice out of the classroom, allowing students to engage in spontaneous, unscripted encounters with native speakers.
• KS 3-5: Develop students' confidence and fluency in speaking Italian, using it in practical situations.
• KS 3-5: Better understand Italian culture and traditions and how the language has developed to present day.
Student Outcomes:
• Develop speaking and listening skills through communicating with native speakers in real life situations.
• Boost students' confidence as they learn what they are capable of.
• Learn about Italian culture and the people who speak the language.
• Appreciate the variation in dialects that contribute to the Italian language as a whole.
It makes a huge difference as a busy teacher to have people on the other end of the phone who always seem to be so helpful with solving the inevitable problems that arise in the organisation of such trips.
