I like to give visual vocabulary lists to my young beginner learners of Italian, as they can generally more easily assimilate new language and vocabulary when they are able to link it in their memory with a visual image, and it’s particularly important to match a clock time with the corresponding clock face when learning how to tell time. Children glue the lists into their Italian vocabulary books, or file them in their Italian vocabulary folders with other vocabulary lists, which gives them an accessible and useful***Italian vocabulary reference bank*** for both class and home learning.
For young and / or beginner***Italian*** learners, I focus initially on a single time set, and this list shows o’clock on a single page. This is because in my experience students benefit from a very clear outline of new language and vocabulary, avoiding lots of text on a single page - even my older students who are completely new to Italian prefer this. When I’m sure that students are confident with a particular time set, I then move on to additional time sets.
There are two backgrounds to choose from - Italian flag, which I use for Italian vocabulary display, or plain.

ITALIAN ERE VERBS CONJUGATION PRACTICE #1
**GCSE ITALIAN KS4 ITALIAN KS3 ITALIAN -ARE VERBS 3 WORKBOOKS & TENSES @ £1.20 EACH IN THE BUNDLE** ***focusing on 25 high-frequency Italian -ERE 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 ***KS3 into KS4 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-12359601](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 #4
**A LEVEL ITALIAN KS5 ITALIAN ARE VERBS CONJUGATION PRACTICE** ***3 workbooks & tenses @ £1.20 each in the bundle featuring 25 high-frequency Italian ARE verbs in the pluperfect, future perfect & conditional perfect tenses, 150 conjugations in each workbook, 450 conjugations in total, answer keys & verb lists*** ideal for ***advanced Italian KS5 Italian*** students who are working with more complex language and texts, including ***authentic resources*** featuring a broad range of tenses, and generally developing their understanding and knowledge of tense and mood in ***Italian***. 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, as it's really important to avoid predominantly teacher-led learning in the languages classroom. It's actually really useful for example to introduce the ***conditional perfect tense in Italian*** along with the ***future perfect tense***, as the patterns are identical, other than the ***auxiliary tense***, and it allows students to ***compare and contrast*** the tenses using a range of texts including ***authentic resources***, and to practise both fairly simultaneously - in my experience, students do not confuse or mix up the tenses when they're learning and using them together. In general, I move forward quite rapidly with conjugation, as this also gives us the opportunity to work with a wide range of authentic texts in our learning programme, and students' ability to ***create and use new language*** isn't restricted by not having an understanding and knowledge of the required tense. ***The workbook focuses on formation and conjugation, rather than usage***, though it’s definitely useful to remind students of a number of things when focusing on or revising tense and verb formation and conjugation. Language learners often conflate what they know about grammar in their first language with the grammar of the language they are learning. For example, with the ***conditional perfect tense***, with students whose first language is ***English*** really need to be confident about using the ***auxiliary essere*** when it's required, as well as be able to conjugate both ***essere and avere in the conditional tense***. Additionally, of course they have to be able to ***form past participles accurately***, to ensure that they can construct the ***conditional perfect tense*** correctly. In terms of the ***past participle***, there are clear patterns in its formation, which students begin to be able to ***predict accurately***: the more they see and use the participles, the more embedded these patterns become. I've used these kinds of grammar activities for many years with my Italian classes. My students definitely find them to be a great way of practicing, reinforcing and revising how to conjugate essential verbs in ***Italian***. I use them in a range of contexts such as independent work either in class time or at home, holiday refresher work, or individual activities for cover lessons. I tend to give my students regular opportunities to practice the conjugations during the whole school year, and they find this really useful for mapping their own progress and developing their overall understanding of how ***Italian*** conjugation 'works'. Though the workbooks focus 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. Students become very familiar and confident the more they work with conjugation, and these quick conjugations certainly help to embed that successfully. **The tenses are:** ***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. **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. 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.
