La musica: A Level Italian Tema 2.2
Tema 2: La cultura politica ed artistica nei Paesi di lingua italiana
A complete, ready-to-teach resource on Italian music, from the opera houses of the nineteenth century to trap and streaming today. Students follow the path of Italian song through Sanremo, the cantautori of the 1960s and 70s, the arrival of rap, and the way platforms and social media now decide what becomes a hit.
Students learn 30 essential words, practise them with translation, and work through two readings on the history and the streaming era of Italian music. Two audio tasks bring the topic to life: an interview with the musicologist Elena Rossi on why lyrics matter in Italian song, and a profile of Mahmood, whose story reflects multicultural Italy today.
Grammar focuses on the congiuntivo presente, with clear rules and graded exercises. Students then produce their own Italian in a speaking round, a translation task and a 150-word essay on whether music can change society.
Includes:
Student booklet (pdf): 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 congiuntivo presente 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 outside lessons.
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.
