VATI - the Victorian Association of Teachers of Italian

2021 VATI Webinars/Presentations - Topic suggestion and expression of interest

Given the still uncertain and volatile nature of Covid restrictions, we have felt it too risky to return to our "traditional" form of face-to-face Congress.

In its place we plan to offer a series of webinars and presentations over the period of April - October on issues, topics and themes that would not normally be covered in a Conference.

We are asking you to indicate presentations and presenters that you would like us to consider for the program. Suggestions for student activites are also sought.

Please click on this link and complete the form.

The following is a working list of activities which we already intend on covering:

Language maintenance classes for teachers
A language immersion activity for teachers
VCE Mock Exam
VCE Exam Preparation Day for students

Thank you for your time and we are looking forward to your illuminating suggestions.

Year 10 Italian Day Out 2020

Year 10 Italian Day Out

This event is supported by the Victorian Government.

We have placed on the VATI website nearly all the activities and resources planned for the Year 10 Italian Day to be held at the Catholic Leadership Centre.

The objective of the day was to encourage Year 10 students to continue with their study of Italian.

The package of resources is now made available to you to use online in the best way you see fit.

In the “package” you will find:

a short video of three students who studied Italian at VCE and are now continuing with their study at University.
videos giving a modern, non stereotypical view of Italy.
listening and viewing activities
music/song activities
a kahoot game
film based activity

In order to download the resources you need to complete a request form. A link to the resources will be automatically emailed to you. We will also email you a link to a feedback form at the end of Term Three.

Forza e coraggio
