The
Italian School Committe Resource Centre
has one of Australia's largest collection of books and multi
media resources relating to Italian Culture and language.
It is open to
the public and members may borrow
movies, books, magazines, music, CD Roms, language tapes etc......
We
also hold
our night classes in the Resource Centre.
• The Italian School
Committee
has worked for the past sixteen years to promote quality language
teaching and learning in schools across the Sunshine Coast
in Qld. With this experience we have developed a series of
Language support materials, for sale, called ‘Andiamo
in Italia’ to teach Italian, which are regularly reviewed
and updated. |

purchase much needed resources and equipment to modernise the
Resource Centre. |

Andiamo
in Italia: is
intended to support teachers who are implementing LOTE programs
in providing language skills and activities which promote culturally
appropriate communicative interaction in context.
•Andiamo
in Italia has
been developed to:provide a framework to assist teachers
in developing, implementing and evaluating an effective Languages
Other Than English (LOTE) Curriculum, develope language skills
which enable the learner to manipulate the language in
a confident manner and to demonstrate their knowledge with others.
The materials highlight the value of LOTE learning and its contribution
to establishing the foundations for lifelong learning. They
provide suggestions of language functions for the linguistic
content of the LOTE program & promote & develop mentally,
socially and culturally appropriate opportunities and outcomes
for children learning another languages.

The Activity books become a handy reference and source of pride
for students as they can take the activity book to new schools
when transferring and to show their progress to their family.
Teachers Manuals which are easy to follow, complement the activity
books with alternative activities and are easily adaptable to
specific teacher or classroom needs
•The
materials also extended to the upper primary levels with the
introduction of our ‘Qui Italia’ - activity
books. In support of this we have also produced a new activity
book called ‘Italia in Festa’. This resource is a
book of activities and cultural games designed to teach through
the celebration of such events as - Natale, Pasqua and il Carnevale.
