Caffè Italia
This 3-level Italian
course has been created
by a group of Italian
language experts and
is based on the most
recent findings in the
area of second language

on the attainment of

neglecting the structure of the language itself.
The student books, which include all exercises,
each offer learning material for around 80
hours of class work and 40 hours of individual
work, with good grammatical support, plenty
of pictures, frequent segments featuring the
language and culture of today, crosswords,
quizzes, puzzles and even book and film reviews.
The Supplementary Booklets each contain an
index of phrases used in the textbook, additional
explanations of key grammatical terms and an
alphabetised glossary. Entirely in Italian, this
excellent course is best suited to the upper years
of high school and to adult learners of Italian.

Esplora!
This is an innovative Italian course in three levels
spanning years 7 to 12. A special feature of this
course is that they tell a story. Esplora! 1 follows
the adventures of Chiara and Marco searching
all over Italy for Federico, an illusive boy who
Chiara has a crush on. Esplora! 2 is a thriller
involving Laura Bianco, the Australian student
on work experience in Florence who must solve
the mystery of a missing pre-Roman statue.
With these cartoon stories high school seniors
will be able to explore Italy and Italian in a very
entertaining fashion indeed: students practise
grammar through mobile phone games, upload
video clips and vocabulary lists to their iPods,
watch the drama unfold on the accompanying
DVD, visit the interactive website for extra audio
material, clip art, links, a blog, and in level 2,
Facebook! But there is also still plenty of the
old-style pen and paper work to be done, and
the teacher’s resource CD-ROMs will assist the
more traditional teachers to become tech-savvy
instructors.

Melina Marchetta’s first novel Terza Generazione
was extremely popular in secondary school
Italian classrooms and the author’s latest
book deals with similar issues and is similarly
accessible and appealing to teenager readers.
Francesca Spinelli, the main character, is having
a hard time in year 11, plus lots of problems on
the home front. She certainly needs saving, if not
exactly in the manner her old friends thought!
Intermediate to advanced students will have
fun building their lexicon and reviewing their
grammar while listening to 13 of popular singer
Laura Pausini’s best songs. Each tune is followed
by a series of photocopiable comprehension,
grammar and vocabulary exercises that
encourage discussion of the cultural context of
language. Answers appear at the back, making
it suitable for both classrooms and self-study.
Includes a compilation audio CD of the songs.
