Aim: To build students' communicative skills and give them the confidence to use the Italian language in practical everyday situations.

Description: The program for this age group is activity based. Students are presented with various activities (games, songs, role-plays etc.) as a means of encouraging them to speak in Italian. Whilst the class is conducted almost entirely in Italian, every care is taken to cater for the specific needs and abilities of each child.

In classes of 10 or more, there are two to three teachers in the class at all times which ensures that each child receives lots of individual and personal attention.

Class Text: No set text. Materials are prepared and supplied by teachers. Each child will receive a scrap book in which to store their work.

Homework: Words to all songs, poems, rhymes etc. are kept in students' scrap book so that parents can monitor their children's progress. Where possible, parents are encouraged to listen to children's poems, songs etc.
