Description
The Italian course Pupils 7-9 years It is designed for bilingual (or multilingual) children who already know how to read and write, have a basic knowledge of the Italian language and who want to learn more about it. In fact, the meetings take place entirely in Italian and help them to strengthen your language skills in a fun and interactive context.
In fact, through reading stories, creating stories, drawing, theater and music, children have the opportunity to:
- learn to converse in Italian and pronounce it correctly;
- increase theirs vocabulary for daily use;
- understand and apply it better and better grammar Italian;
- read and write in Italian regularly;
- delve deeper into culture Italian.
Within an engaging environment the participants are able to create new friendships and learn without stress, coming into contact with other children who have a cultural background, at least in part, similar to theirs. This condition stimulates their desire to communicate and learn and allows them to feel at ease.
Over the course of the year, the Pupils 7-9 year old meetings touch on various guiding themes, chosen to stimulate their interest not only in the language, but also in history, geography and the elements that characterize Italian culture. Through stories, readings, research and class discussions, the topics are explored and elaborated both individually and in groups, to stimulate curiosity and collaboration.
Objectives of the course

Make them understand how important knowledge of the language is, in order to be able to explore all the communication possibilities it offers.
