As part of their reflection on their experience of learning a Language, Year 10 Italian students were given the opportunity early in Term 3 to engage with the Melbourne Italian community's weekly newspaper, Il Globo. This was the first experience for many students of a newspaper written entirely in the target language.
Students generally found that they understood some passages and were then able to deduce the meaning of other passages from illustrations, references and other contextual clues. Feelings ranged from frustration to elation! Copies of Il Globo are archived in the Barak library and available to all readers. Other resources and facilities provided through the MLMC library to LOTE students include:
- LOTE conversation groups
- LOTE print collections
- ClickView videos supporting LOTE.
