I media: A Level Italian
Tema 2: La cultura politica ed artistica nei Paesi di lingua italiana
A complete, ready-to-teach resource on the media in Italy, covering press freedom, public broadcasting, print and online newspapers, and the spread of fake news on social media. Students explore what Article 21 of the Italian Constitution protects, how television and politics have shaped each other, and why young people now get their news from their phones.
The lesson starts with 30 essential words, from il pluralismo to la verifica dei fatti, with translation practice to test them. A gap-fill warm-up leads into two readings: one on press freedom and pluralism, and one comparing print and online newspapers. Each reading has comprehension questions and quick-recall tasks. Two listening tasks bring the topic to life: an interview on television and politics in Italy, and a discussion about how people get their news and how to spot false stories.
Grammar focuses on the passive voice across the main tenses, with graded exercises to practise it. Students then develop their Italian in a speaking round, an English-to-Italian translation, and a 150-word essay on whether journalism is still needed in the age of social media. An AI extension task lets them check and improve their own answers.
Every task comes with a full answer key, and listening transcripts are included.
Includes:
Student booklet (Word): 30-word essential vocabulary with translation practice, a gap-fill warm-up, two readings with comprehension questions and a summary task, two audio listenings with full transcripts, a passive voice grammar focus with two exercises, a 6-question speaking round, an English-to-Italian translation task, and a 150-word extended writing challenge, plus an AI extension task for independent practice.
Teacher presentation (PowerPoint): 30 slides, question and answer pairs for slide-by-slide delivery, with transcripts in the speaker notes.
Full answer key, a Quizlet list of the vocabulary, and audio hosted on SoundCloud.
