How This Course Supports the Ontario Catholic School Graduate Expectations

The study of the Italian language helps students become effective communicators; more reflective, critical, and creative thinkers; as well as discerning believers. The graduate will respect and affirm the diversity and interdependence of the world’s peoples and cultures. As a life long learner and responsible citizen, the graduate will also be able to make appropriate decisions in light of Gospel and Church teachings.

Course Notes

Teachers should address school and board policies regarding safety, acceptable use of the Internet, and proper use of audio-visual equipment. On-going activities should reflect awareness of violence prevention and avoidance of bias within the learning environment. Teachers, in conjunction with special education teachers, will accommodate individual student needs. Cross-curricular integration will assist students in making connections to other disciplines.

OSS Policy Considerations

Teachers will refer to The Ontario Curriculum, Grades 11 and 12, Classical Studies and International Languages, 2000. The teacher reviews the necessary language structures in order to give students the basis for a successful learning experience. Any resources to support anti-discrimination education, equity/social justice issues, career goals/cooperative education, community partnerships, and faith development will support many of the Ontario Secondary School Policies as well as The Ontario Catholic School Graduate Expectations. Teachers will be familiar with Ontario Secondary Schools, Grades 9
to 12: Program and Diploma Requirements, 1999
.

Course Evaluation

At the end of this course, teachers have the opportunity to assess the overall effectiveness of their programs. Student evaluation forms may be used to gather information on how to modify the program for student success. Teachers review the content and the instructional and assessment strategies at the end of the course in order to revise the Italian program to improve student achievement of the expectations.

Teaching/Learning Strategies

A wide variety of teaching and learning strategies should be used to sustain student interest and maximize learning. All types of learners are to be accommodated. Teaching and learning strategies reflect a balance of independent, collaborative, and teacher-directed activities. Activities are relevant and motivating and allow for student creativity. Resources used (Internet, video, and print) are to be previewed before use. Information technology resources have been included for all units in the Overview.

Assessment & Evaluation of Student Achievement

Teachers should assess what students learn and provide opportunities for students to examine and reflect on their personal values, abilities, and aspirations and on how they influence life’s choices and opportunities. Students need a variety of opportunities to demonstrate their knowledge and skills. Teachers should use a variety of techniques to assess and to evaluate these performances of learning, e.g., portfolios, journals, tests, checklists, rubrics, etc. Teachers should use a repertoire of assessment techniques, including diagnostic, formative, and summative assessment to ensure student achievement of Ministry and Ontario Catholic School Graduate Expectations.

Reporting Student Achievement

A final grade is recorded for each Italian course and a credit is granted for every course in which the student’s grade is 50% or higher.

The final grade is determined as follows:

- 70% of the grade is based on assessments and evaluations throughout the course,

- 30% of the grade is based on a final evaluation in the form of an examination, performance, or other method of evaluation and is administered near the end of the course. It should assess the three strands of Oral Communication (Listening and Speaking), Reading, Writing.

The final mark should reflect the expectations of the three strands: Oral Communication (Listening and Speaking), Reading, Writing in a balanced way.

Accommodations

Teachers are expected to be acquainted with students’ Individual Education Plans (IEPs), the unique learning characteristics of their individual students, and to make the necessary accommodations.

In order to meet the needs of these students, a variety of strategies, techniques, or resources may be used (e.g., use cue cards, pair students according to task, use alternate formats for written tests, etc.). Every attempt is made by the teacher to accommodate students’ individual needs, in order to increase their success in the course.

Teachers should:

·         consult with Special Education personnel while reviewing Individual Education Plans (IEPs) of students with special needs, noting recommendations and accommodations for all identified students;

·         prepare to offer alternative formats for assignments and presentations. These may include pre-recorded audiocassettes, videotaped conversations, the use of a script, etc.;

·         refer to IEPs for recommendations and accommodations when assessing and evaluating students identified with special needs;

·         arrange on-going extra opportunities for the reinforcement of vocabulary and grammatical structures;

·         sensitively select partners allowing one student’s strengths to compensate for another student’s challenges;

·         provide enrichment opportunities.

Resources

Specific resources for the units and activities have been included. Note: Community resources are also very useful: community organizations, cultural and ethnic clubs, embassies, consulates, travel agencies, newspapers, libraries (city, university, college), churches, The Canadian Legion, Rotary Clubs, women’s groups, radio and television stations, theatres and native speakers (from the community or within the schools), bookstores, and the Internet.

Units in this Course Profile make reference to the use of specific texts, magazines, films, videos, and websites. The teachers need to consult their board policies regarding use of any copyrighted materials. Before reproducing materials for student use from printed publications, teachers need to ensure that their board has a Cancopy licence and that this licence covers the resources they wish to use. Before screening videos/films with their students, teachers need to ensure that their board/school has obtained the appropriate public performance videocassette licence from an authorized distributor, e.g., Audio Cine Films Inc. The teachers are reminded that much of the material on the Internet is protected by copyright. The copyright is usually owned by the person or organization that created the work. Reproduction of any work or substantial part of any work from the Internet is not allowed without the permission of the owner.
