Italian Dual Language
Program
Our Goal
Our goal is to engage students in an immersive bilingual experience that simultaneously provides instruction in both Italian and English languages. This program is aligned to meet NYS Next Generation Standards across content areas.
Students in Action
In a few days students were able to learn the Italian Anthem to showcase their excitement and commitment to learning Italian culture .
Why study Dual Language?
Fostering bilingualism and biliteracy allows students to enhance awareness of linguistics and cultural diversity. Benefits of dual language include increased cognitive skills, academic achievement through instruction and language development. Bilingualism nurtures socio-cultural competency.
La vita é questa.
Niente é facile e
Nulla é impossible
This is life.
Nothing is easy but not impossible
― Giuseppe Donadei
A student’s perspective: Marianna from our dual language class
“My favorite part about our Dual Language program is learning Italian and while also learning all of the other subjects in fun and creative ways.”
