  1. Benvenutiall’italianoWelcome

  2. About me • My name is MaryLouSchiavone • My email is mschiavone@nutleyschools.org • I teach Italian I and II this year at John H Walker Middle School. • I have been a teacher for 16 years. • 12 years in the Nutley district • I love languages. • I am the mother of two daughters.

  3. Course description The Italian curriculum is formatted in thematic units that present a generic scope and sequence. Students will be exposed to Italian via real-life themes that promote communication and the use of the target language. Language features and grammar will be conveyed in-context, which calls for a thematic approach. The same thematic units will be unpacked at each grade level in order to build upon previously acquired vocabulary and language features. As students progress through the levels, they will learn in additional contexts within the same unit theme. The 6 themes are: Beauty and Aesthetics, Families and Communities, Global Challenges, Personal and Public Identities, Science and Technology, and Contemporary Life Since learning language (L1) is different form learning a foreign language (L2), we approach the acquisition process through real world situations. Understanding the people and culture of the target country allows the student to evaluate and apply their attitudes and desires to the context of learning. As a result, students will realize similarities

  4. Expectations for each class: Respect others in the class and their right to learn. Arrive on time, and begin warm-up activity. Give full attention and active participation.
