The main principle behind Chiaro! is to
ensure that the experience of learning Italian
is relaxed, enjoyable and at the same time
efficient. It therefore adopts an active approach,
encouraging students to communicate from
the outset with tasks that require collaboration
and interaction. Chiaro! places great emphasis
on developing the four major linguistic skills
but also on learning how to learn. Students can
reflect on different learning styles and develop
an understanding of what works best for them
in order to maximise their progress. Authentic
scenarios and visual stimuli introduce the
language and culture of Italy. Teaching objectives
are clearly presented at the start of each unit
allowing students to evaluate their skills. The
student’s book comprises exercise chapters,
revision units, clear grammar charts, and sections
dedicated to phonetic practice. An audio CD
and CD-ROM (complete with transcripts, selfstudy exercises and glossary) are also included.
A book of supplementary exercises is also
available for each level, in addition to a new
workbook dedicated to listening practice and
comprehension across levels A1-B1.
