Italiano (Language and literature)

Il programma di Italiano della scuola media permette agli studenti di prepararsi per l’esame conclusivo, previsto alla fine del terzo anno, e di ottenere il Diploma di Licenza Media rilasciato dallo Stato Italiano. L’esame di Stato viene organizzato presso un istituto di riferimento con il quale la scuola AMBRIT International School collabora ormai da diversi anni. I programmi di studio e la struttura dei corsi seguono le Indicazioni ministeriali, integrandosi in maniera funzionale con le materie del curriculum internazionale e con la struttura del Middle Years Programme dell’International Baccalaureate. Il programma prevede un progressivo incremento delle ore d’insegnamento in lingua italiana, dalla prima alla terza media, in modo che all’ultimo e decisivo anno vi sia un coinvolgimento maggiore per gli studenti che scelgano questa opzione.

MYP Objectives

A

Analysing

Through the study of language and literature students are enabled to deconstruct texts in order to identify their essential elements and their meaning. Analysing involves demonstrating an understanding of the creator’s choices, the relationship between the various components of a text and between texts, and making inferences about how an audience responds to a text (strand i), as well as the creator’s purpose for producing text (strand ii). Students should be able to use the text to support their personal responses and ideas (strand iii). Literacy and critical literacy are essential lifelong skills; engaging with texts requires students to think critically and show awareness of, and an ability to reflect on, different perspectives through their interpretations of the text (strand iv).

B

Organising

Students should understand and be able to organise their ideas and opinions using a range of appropriate conventions for different forms and purposes of communication. Students should also recognise the importance of maintaining academic honesty by respecting intellectual property rights and referencing allsources accurately.

C

Producing text

Students will produce written and spoken text, focusing on the creative process itself and on the understanding of the connection between the creator and his or her audience. In exploring and appreciating new and changing perspectives and ideas, students will develop the ability to make choices aimed at producing texts that affect both the creator and the audience.

D

Using language

Students have opportunities to develop, organise and express themselves and communicate thoughts, ideas and information. They are required to use accurate and varied language that is appropriate to the contextand intention. This objective applies to, and must include, written, oral and visual text, as appropriate.
