BEGINNER ITALIAN DAYS OF THE WEEK WORD SEARCH Word searches are a fabulous way of encouraging learners to engage with the written word in Italian, refreshing and reinforcing language as they complete the grids. This freebie features a word search focusing on the days of the week in Italian, key beginner vocabulary for Italian learners.
This search grid is***Italian to English***, where learners are prompted with the Italian words, and look for them in Italian in the grid. For additional consolidation, the grid also features an English word list that they have to complete, really putting students’ knowledge to the test! Students can tell in which direction the words are written by looking at the arrow key on each grid. Having a good bilingual dictionary to hand is also a good idea, as this provides a further focus on developing literacy in both Italian and English, and facilitates learner independence.
There is an answer grid for the word search, so that students can check their answers - or use for a little extra help if they need it. Answer keys also provide students with an additional opportunity to engage with language, and they’re a great teacher time-saver too, which is always a good thing! The word search is in landscape format, as I’ve found this to be the best format for English-speaking beginner learners of Italian, as it mirrors the common direction of reading from left to right. This kind of activity is really versatile too, I use them as starters, refreshers, plenaries or fun-time fillers at any time during the school year, as well as when I’m introducing days of the week in Italian.
Have a browse in my store for more Italian word searches, and a wide range of other Italian teaching and learning materials, with dollar deals, special offer bundles, and lots of freebies too!

ITALIAN IRE VERBS CONJUGATION PRACTICE #1
**BEGINNER ITALIAN INTERMEDIATE ITALIAN -IRE VERBS 3 WORKBOOKS & TENSES @ $1.20 EACH IN THE BUNDLE** ***focusing on 25 high-frequency Italian -IRE verbs**.* **The tenses are:** ***present tense (il presente) perfect tense (il passato prossimo) imperfect tense (l'imperfetto)*** My students really like this kind of grammar activity, as they like to work and learn independently, which is a successful way of varying teaching and learning methodologies - I've found it's really important to avoid predominantly teacher-led learning in the languages classroom. ***There are 150 conjugations across 3 differentiated conjugation challenges in each workbook, 450 conjugations in total***. I use these kinds of workbooks in lots of different ways: for practice during the introduction phase, for independent choice in class time, for home learning, for practice and revision during vacation and at return to class, and for cover lessons - they're really versatile, and ideal for ***beginner Italian*** and ***advanced beginner Italian*** students who are getting to grips with conjugation in ***Italian***, building their verb vocabulary, and are keen to practise and refresh ***Italian*** tenses they've previously learned. ***The workbooks focus on the mechanics of conjugation, rather than usage***, and I've found that when my students are able to provide the correct conjugation very quickly, and out of a specific context, they feel really confident that their conjugation skills are developing well. I encourage students to look for patterns across all the verbs, such as the ***formal Lei form*** being identical to the conjugation of ***singular pronouns***. The workbooks focus on the mechanics of conjugation, rather than usage, but I find it useful to remind students of a number of things when focusing on or revising tense and verb conjugation. Language learners do often try to conflate what they know about conjugation in their first language, with that of the language they are learning. For example, with the ***Italian imperfect tense***, students whose first language is ***English*** often make errors such as ***io stavo or ero lavorare for I was working***. I refer frequently the difference in usage between ***English and Italian***, and this is important particularly when explaining when and in which contexts to use the ***imperfect tense in Italian***. Though the workbook focuses solely on the correct conjugation of verbs, and does not look at word order in the context of full sentences, there are ***conjugation patterns*** that students can ***learn, recognise and apply***, ensuring that their ***spoken and written Italian*** is accurate, and that their ***understanding of Italian across the skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing*** is robust. **The resource is structured as follows:** ***Two alphabetical verb reference lists***: Italian-English and English-Italian. ***Three conjugation challenges***, each with 50 individual conjugations: **Conjugation Challenge 1**: each verb conjugated in Italian across a range of pronouns, with students writing the corresponding English verb conjugation. **Conjugation Challenge 2**: gives the infinitive of each verb in Italian, specifying the target pronoun. Students write the corresponding verb conjugation in Italian. **Conjugation Challenge 3**: students write the corresponding Italian verb conjugation, and its infinitive, from an English prompt. ***Notes and Next Steps*** template which students visit regularly - it really does encourage them to think about where they are now, how confident they feel, and what they might need to work on a little more to be absolutely sure of their conjugation skills. We also note down any new verbs we meet, which enables students to build up their own verb vocabulary bank. It's a great tool to guide and inform whole-group discussion about learning and progress in general, which is a really successful and popular activity. ***answer key***: 6-page booklet which is absolutely essential in my view. Answer keys help students develop more independence in their learning, and provide them with an additional opportunity to engage with language and grammar. They also genuinely enjoy correcting their own - and particularly each others' - work. ***Try this Italian conjugation workbook sampler to see if it's the kind of learning activity that will work well for your students - it's free to download here:*** **ITALIAN CONJUGATION PRACTICE SAMPLER** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/italian-conjugation-practice-sampler-12507124](http://) ***Currently in my store I have Italian conjugation workbooks for a range of verb groups featuring the following tenses:*** *present tense* (presente) *perfect tense* (passato prossimo) *imperfect tense* (imperfetto) *future tense* (futuro semplice) *conditional tense* (condizionale, presente) *pluperfect tense* (trapassato prossimo) *future perfect tense* (futuro anteriore) *conditional perfect tense* (condizionale passato) ***Have a browse in my store for more Italian grammar activities, and a wide range of Italian language teaching and learning materials, with special offer bundles and lots of freebies too - I've included a couple here for you to try.*** *The product is non-editable in a zipped format.

ITALIAN ARE VERBS CONJUGATION PRACTICE #3
**BEGINNER ITALIAN INTERMEDIATE ITALIAN ADVANCED ITALIAN ARE VERBS CONJUGATION PRACTICE 8 TENSES & WORKBOOKS @ $0.65 EACH IN THE BUNDLE** focusing on ***25 high-frequency Italian -ARE verbs***. My students really like this kind of grammar activity, as they like to work and learn independently, which is a successful way of varying teaching and learning methodologies - I've found it's really important to avoid predominantly teacher-led learning in the languages classroom. There are ***150 conjugations across 3 differentiated conjugation challenges in each workbook, 1,200 conjugations*** in total. I use these kinds of workbooks in lots of different ways: for practice during the introduction phase, for independent choice in class time, for home learning, for practice and revision during vacation and at return to class, and for cover lessons - they're really versatile, and ideal for ***advanced beginner Italian and intermediate Italian*** students who are getting to grips with conjugation in ***Italian***, building their verb vocabulary, and working with texts which include a range of tenses; then moving into ***advanced intermediate Italian*** with more complex texts and language, including ***authentic resources***, with the ***pluperfect tense***, into ***advanced Italian*** with the ***future perfect and conditional perfect tenses***. The workbooks ***focus on the mechanics of conjugation, rather than usage***, and I've found that when my students are able to provide the correct conjugation very quickly, and out of a specific context, they feel really confident that their conjugation skills are developing well. **The tenses are:** *present tense (presente) perfect tense (passato prossimo) imperfect tense (imperfetto) future tense (futuro semplice) conditional tense (condizionale, presente) pluperfect tense (trapassato prossimo) future perfect tense (futuro anteriore) conditional perfect tense (condizionale passato)* Grammar books are not consistent with grammatical terminology, so in this context, the ***conditional perfect is I would have done or I would have been*** for example - we often see this tense called the ***conditional past*** too. It’s definitely useful to remind students of a number of things when focusing on or revising tense and verb formation and conjugation. Students do often try to conflate what they know about conjugation in their first language, and the language they are learning. For example, with the ***conditional tense in Italian*** those with ***English as a first language*** frequently look for a word that is the equivalent of ***would***, until they familiarise themselves with the fact that the ***notion of conditional is indicated in the verb ending***. I see this a lot with the ***future tense*** too, and tend to introduce both tenses quite closely together. It's also easy to confuse the ***future tense endings with the conditional tense endings***, and targeted practice helps to address that really well. Though the workbook focuses solely on the correct conjugation of verbs, and does not look at word order in the context of full sentences, there are ***conjugation patterns*** that students can ***learn, recognise and apply***, ensuring that their ***spoken and written Italian*** is accurate, and that their ***understanding of Italian across the skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing*** is robust. **Each set is structured as follows:** ***Two alphabetical verb reference lists***: Italian-English and English-Italian. ***Three conjugation challenges***, each with 50 individual conjugations: **Conjugation Challenge 1**: each verb conjugated in Italian across a range of pronouns, with students writing the corresponding English verb conjugation. **Conjugation Challenge 2**: gives the infinitive of each verb in Italian, specifying the target pronoun.
