What does the course entail?
|
The Italian Second Language ATAR course is designed to equip students with the skills needed to function in an increasingly globalised society and a culturally and linguistically diverse local community, providing the foundation for life-long language learning.
Students will develop the necessary understandings and values to communicate effectively in Italian in both social and workplace contexts in Western Australia and in other communities where Italian is spoken. Through the study of the language, students also develop a stronger sense of their personal identity and greater respect for people of Italian-speaking communities. Students explore, from the perspective of their individual areas of interest, Italian-speaking communities and the changing world. All learning contexts incorporate information communication technologies, have a personal and practical focus, and highlight the importance of understanding, interpreting and using Italian in a rapidly changing world. Currently Western Australian Universities will award a 10% bonus to language students who complete a year 12 language course at ATAR level. |
