Year 4
Students communicate in Italian, interacting and socialising with the teacher and peers to exchange information about aspects of their personal worlds, including their daily routines at home and school, and their interests. They contribute collaboratively to class experiences that involve asking for help, clarification and permission, solving problems and sharing decisions. Students locate and process factual information in written, spoken and multimodal texts and gather and convey factual information and short descriptions from familiar texts related to their personal and social worlds. They participate in and respond to a range of imaginative texts, discuss messages and make statements about characters or themes. Students create and perform short imaginative texts that allow for exploration and enjoyment of language and cultural expression, using familiar expressions and modelled language.
Students become familiar with the systems of the Italian language, developing pronunciation and intonation in Italian and recognise some of the rules of spelling and punctuation. They notice and use context-related vocabulary and apply elements of grammar in simple spoken and written texts such as learning to conjugate common regular and irregular verbs in the singular (io/tu/lui/lei) in the present tense, to generate language for a range of purposeful interactions. Students begin to develop a metalanguage in Italian for talking about language, using terms similar to those used in English. Students are encouraged to define their Italian learning experiences and make connections between culture and language use by identifying vocabulary and expressions that reflect different cultural values, traditions or practices.
In Year 4 students continue to require extensive support with their language learning. Purposeful communicative activities and experiences are planned, models and examples are provided, along with support for self-monitoring and reflection. Language experience and input include authentic texts that may require some modification to include familiar vocabulary and simple sentence structures. Students continue to be encouraged to use Italian as much as possible for social interactions and in learning tasks.
