I. OVERVIEW
Italian V Honors continues the Italian language sequence at Madison High School. This full year course
continues the development of listening, speaking, reading and writing competency in Italian. It is designed for
students who have successfully completed Italian IV. Students improve their control of the past tense, learn to
express their desires and recommendations via the past subjunctive, and understand the uses of compound tenses.
All objectives are practiced with the goal of communicative and cultural awareness. Students will communicate
with spoken and written forms using interpretive, interpersonal and presentation modes. Students will
demonstrate understanding of a culture via these same three modes.
II. RATIONALE
New Jersey citizens are part of a dynamic, interconnected, and technologically driven global society
centered on the creation and communication of knowledge and ideas across geographical, cultural, and
linguistic borders. Individuals who effectively communicate in more than one language, with an
appropriate understanding of cultural contexts, are globally literate.
The study of another language and culture enables individuals to communicate with people from diverse
cultures. The study of another language fosters attitudes, values, and skills that indicate a positive
disposition and understanding of cultural differences and that enhance cross-cultural communication.
III. GOALS (Linked to NJ Core Content Standards)
7.1 World Languages: All students will be able to use a world language in addition to English to engage in
meaningful conversation, to understand and interpret spoken and written language, and to present
information, concepts, and ideas, while also gaining an understanding of the perspectives of other cultures.
Through language study, they will make connections with other content areas, compare the language and
culture studied with their own, and participate in home and global communities.
Language learners can be expected to move through levels of proficiency at different rates. In addition,
language learners may demonstrate differing proficiencies depending upon the communicative mode in
which they are functioning (interpersonal, interpretive, or presentational). In Madison High School,
students who are taking Italian V Honors should meet the cumulative progress indicators for the
Intermediate-Mid Level of proficiency. Intermediate-Mid Level students communicate using strings of
sentences to ask and answer questions, to handle simple transactions related to everyday life, and to talk
about subject matter studied in other classes. By the end of Italian V Honors, students taking a continuing
sequence of language from middle school will:
A. Interpretive Mode:
1. Compare and contrast information contained in culturally authentic materials using
information sources related to targeted themes.
electronic
2. Demonstrate comprehension of oral and written instructions connected to daily activities and to
some unfamiliar situations through appropriate responses.
3. Analyze the use of verbal and non-verbal etiquette (i.e., gestures, intonation, and cultural practices)
in the target culture(s) to determine the meaning of a message.
4. Use target language to paraphrase what is heard or read in oral or written descriptions of people,
places, objects, and daily activities.
5. Comprehend conversations and written information on a variety of familiar and some unfamiliar
topics.
6. Compare and contrast the main idea, theme, main characters, and setting in readings from age- and
level-appropriate, culturally authentic materials
7. Infer the meaning of some unfamiliar words in some new contexts.
8. Use knowledge of structures of the target language to deduce meaning of new and unfamiliar
structures.
B. Interpersonal Mode:
1. Use digital tools to participate in short conversations and to exchange information related to a
variety of familiar topics and some unfamiliar topics.
2. Give and follow a series of oral and written directions, commands, and requests for participating in
age- and level-appropriate classroom and cultural activities in familiar and some unfamiliar
situations.
3. Use appropriate gestures, intonation, and common idiomatic expressions of the target
culture(s)/language in familiar and some unfamiliar situations.
4. Ask and respond to factual and interpretive questions of a personal nature, on school-related
topics, and on some unfamiliar topics and situations.
5. Engage in short conversations about personal experiences or events, topics studied in other content
areas, and some unfamiliar topics and situations.
C. Presentational Mode:
1. Synthesize information related to the cultural products, cultural practices, and cultural perspectives
associated with targeted culture(s) to create a multimedia-rich presentation on targeted themes to
be shared virtually with a target language audience
2. Dramatize student-created and/or authentic short plays, skits, poems, songs, stories, or reports.
3. Use language creatively to respond in writing to a variety of oral or visual prompts about familiar
and some unfamiliar situations.
4. Synthesize information found in age- and level-appropriate culturally authentic materials
5. Compare the cultural perspectives of the target culture(s) with those of one’s own culture, as
evidenced through the cultural products and cultural practices associated with each.
