They translate texts and produce bilingual texts. Students reflect on their experience of learning language and culture. |

| Additional Information | Learning Languages develops overall literacy and is enhanced through the use of multimodal resources, digital environments and technologies in the target language. Students develop the personal and social capability and become open minded as they recognise that people view and experience the world in different ways. Students are taught explicitly to acknowledge and value difference in their interactions with others and to develop respect for diverse ways for perceiving and acting in the world. The development of intercultural understanding is a central aim of learning languages.
Students will be involved in Italian cooking sessions and an excursion to the Central Market where they will learn about Italian cuisine and foods from different regions of Italy. |
