Italian: elementary part 3

About this course

The course develops Italian for everyday situations, including making polite requests, asking for and giving directions, offering basic advice, and discussing television and contemporary culture. Learners practise longer conversations and natural responses through interactive classroom activities, role-play, speaking tasks and short exercises. Progress is assessed informally through observation, spoken activities, simple tasks and self-reflection. Weekly homework extends practice beyond the classroom, while lesson resources are provided through the online learning platform.
