Aim of Course

The Italian: Second Language ATAR course is designed to further develop students’ knowledge and understanding of the culture and the language of Italian-speaking communities, providing them with opportunities to gain a broader and deeper understanding of Italian and extend and refine their communication skills. The course focuses on the interrelationship of language and culture, and equips students with the skills needed to function in an increasingly globalised society, a culturally and linguistically diverse local community, and provides them with the foundation for life-long language learning. Relevant and engaging tasks, delivered through a range of appropriate contexts and topics, develop literacy in the Italian language as well as extend literacy development in English.
