Italian
Implementation
2008 was the first year of implementation. The first WACE examinations for Italian will be conducted in 2009.
Summary
Learning a language expands students’ horizons as both national and global citizens of the 21st century. The study of Italian is relevant to students in Australia because Italian is a strong community language: the history of Italian settlement in Australia can be traced to the First Fleet in 1788 and Italian-speaking communities in Australia continue to play a significant role in our society. Italy is also a major destination for Australian travellers. The Italian course develops the ability of students to communicate in Italian, understand aspects of the language and develop a greater respect for the Italian people, their rich and diverse culture, traditions and belief systems. The study of Italian may also provide opportunities for continued learning and for future employment and experience, both domestically and internationally, in areas such as public relations, commerce, hospitality, education, marketing, international relations, media and tourism.
