Teaching Italian the 'Italian way'

The Fellow, Jenna Lo Bianco has been teaching secondary Italian for only eight years, though has
a wealth of diverse experiences and skills given her background in academic research, educational
publishing and teaching Italian overseas. The Italian Services Institute Fellowship program with the
International Specialised Skills Institute allowed this naturally curious and innovative educator the
opportunity to study best practice in Italian language schools in Italy. Studying in-situ provided Lo
Bianco the opportunity to analyse the pedagogical approaches and learning and teaching tools used
by a range of educators who are trained to teach Italian to foreigners…in Italian.
