Organized in eight chapters, each focused on one Italian region explored through the lenses of literature, art, history, popular culture, and cinematography, Caleidoscopio fosters student-centered discovery learning through percorso scritto and/or percorso orale activities. The five sections of each chapter integrate language and cultural content and include original readings, audio files, literary excerpts, contextualized grammar reviews, guided analysis and discussion of photographs and films.

Caleidoscopio includes audio files, testing programs, answer keys to all exercises, teacher's note, Student Activity Manual, glossary, and a sample syllabus.  

These intermediate level volumes by Melina Masterson, the same author of Tutt* a tavola!  1 & 2, focus on more complex grammatical structures while also reviewing the more foundational linguistic elements and forms. Each of the eight (8) Unità, four per volume, start by inviting learners to zoom in on the vocabulary first and then review, practice or learn the different grammar topics through multiple, machine-graded practice exercise. In the words of the author, the two volumes are just meant to be a resource in addition to what each instructor may choose to develop and discuss during class meetings.

This OER textbook contains a variety of at-home and in-class activities to help students gain a comprehensive understanding of Italian language and culture.

Giornate Italiane is divided into two parts: Units 1-6 cover beginners skills in Italian, while Units 7-11 cover intermediate skills. Communicative skills are at the forefront of the language learning experience, allowing students the ability to play with language while learning the valuable skills that comprise our understanding and ability to participate in realistic scenarios.

This resource was designed following the flipped classroom model and is structured in a manner that allows students to learn concepts and lexicon, then check their comprehension with integrated H5P activities with instant feedback. 

Italian in Wonderland is an innovative digital platform for intermediate students.

“Wonderland” refers not only to the new perspectives for language and cultural learning but also to the ability for both the student and the teacher to explore different content and to create new ones. 

This OER resource is divided into eight chapters, and each chapter had the same structure and five main goals.
