Info on Learning and Teaching Italian

(LAST EDITED/UPDATED: 4 May 2007)

Here are some links on Learning and Teaching Italian:

LEARNING AND TEACHING – "Online lessons and courses, grammar references, teaching materials, etc." – Source: CALL@Hull –"a collection of online Communications and Information Technology (C&IT) resources for teachers and learners of languages in higher education. This site continues and develops the heritage of the CTI Centre for Modern Languages."
  • ADESSO! – "Italian lessons for beginners, incorporating links to Italian websites in the lesson texts to illustrate the lesson topics."
  • CyberItalian – "Although primarily a commercial site selling an online Italian course, this site has a useful Gallery section with a large collection of bilingual texts (Eng/It) on topical aspects of Italian culture, plus a grammar section. Website text in English and Spanish."
  • Dentro l'Italiano Online – "An interactive, multimedia course in Italian, with audio clips (RealMedia), exercises, grammatical help, and a course guide in a number of European languages. The course has 3 sections - Beginners, Intermediate, and Advanced - and a substantial number of modules, some 25 or so per section, which can be selected by theme. The site requires an XML-capable browser (Internet Explorer 5 or Netscape 6 or better), and is hosted by the Italian cultural site Italica. Recommended."
  • Didaskalos – "Online multimedia courses in Italian for beginner- and intermediate-level learners. The site also has some free resources, including proverbs, news articles, numbers and units of measure, and recipes, which may be of some use to learners and teachers of Italian."
  • Guerra Edizioni –"Material for teachers and learners of Italian, including an online forum to discuss problems with the language, a chat room, activities and exercises, and lots of links to Italian sites."
  • Icon: Italian culture on the Net – "The Icon Consortium is composed of some 24 Italian universities, in collaboration with the ministries of Foreign Affairs and of Education, with the purpose of providing online courses and materials for foreigners and Italians resident abroad who are interested in Italian language, culture and history. The site is a 'portal' to a wide range of resources and services, and offers the opportunity to take a 3-year certificated degree course in Italian Language and Culture for Foreigners. You have to pay for many of the courses and resources, but there are also a good number of free courses and resources available for which you have to register (free of charge). A very interesting initiative worth keeping an eye on. Recommended. Site text in Italian, English, Spanish, German, and French."
  • ILUSS - Italiano online – "Interactive exercises, reading materials, and links for students and teachers of Italian. Although this is a paid membership site, a significant amount of its resources are freely-available to non-members."
  • Italia 2000 – "A much-improved site for intermediate to advanced learners of Italian. There are twelve study units, each based around a video clip and containing Java and Javascript exercises, a glossary and transcript, and sound clips from the video. The project has also published a software and video package in conjunction with Giunti Multimedia. Italia 2000 is a European Union LINGUA project. Recommended."
  • The Italian Electronic Classroom – "A grand title for basic, but very useful, tutorials and exercises on "difficult" aspects of Italian language, such as idiomatic expressions, pronunciation, prepositions, and pronouns."
  • Italian irregular verbs – ""
  • Italianissimo Online – "An online multimedia course for beginners in Italian, from BBC Education Languages."
  • Materiali didattici per l'insegnamento dell'italiano – "Texts and exercises (non-interactive), graded by level, for learners of Italian as a foreign language, using continuously updated material. The exercises are useful resources for teachers of Italian at all levels."
  • Oggi e Domani – "An interactive 20-lesson course in Italian, ranging from beginner to intermediate level. Each lesson includes exercises, audio clips, and external links, and reference material (dictionary, grammar, pronunciation) is always available."
  • Progetto Talis – "An experimental project to put Italian texts and exercises online for learners of Italian."
  • Trieste Verb Conjugator "A useful Italian verb conjugator hosted at the University of Trieste. Enter any verb for conjugation in any tense in active, passive, or reflexive forms. The no-frills interface is a refreshing relief from the eye-mangling designs of so many language sites."

The above links are current. If anyone has any suggestions for other sites, please feel free to post your comment and I'll update this blog entry. For your specific interest, please search the web for further information using Google .

Please note: I do NOT represent or endorse any of these links nor do I receive payment for listing them in my blog.

The reason that I list these links is to provide information for individuals who are dreaming, considering a move or traveling to Italy. It is my intent to share these links (web sites) with like-minded individuals who are in the process of considering, have made the decision to move or travel to Italy for whatever reason. I have attempted to group these links and to categorize them.

These blog postings and entries are not static. As I come across new information, I update the appropropriate blog entry periodically.

I have found in my research on the Internet that by changing the wording of the search argument or the order of the wording of the search argument on a search engine, e.g., Google, you may get different results. There is so much information to choose from on the internet. Unfortunately, there's a lot of junk that clutters up one's search. I believe in my presentation format that it eliminates the need for one to do multiple searches. Also, I believe this information is a baseline or starting point for an individual to conduct their own search and they do not have to reinvent the wheel or start from scratch.

For my blog, I am presenting the fruits of my efforts of just a portion of that information in a format that is of use to my wife and myself for future use and reference (and hopefully, other individuals) as we prepare for our move to Italy.

I am open to suggestions and solicit comments from the readers of this blog for your feedback.

That's it for Wednesday, 1 November 2006: mercoledì, 1 novembre 2006

Ciao, Ben
