Italian School Essay

My project aims to establish a sort of twinning between Italian schools (where Italian students are often obliged to study English having as teachers Italians, who have learned English as second language, attending Italian Universities, without improve their own knowledge in England) and English schools (ESOL for foreign people) in Sunderland where these students will be able to improve their understanding and their speaking English. In fact, in my personal experience, Italian students, after courses of English that usually last eight year, have still big gaps with their English. For the above reasons, my idea subsists to try to bring in Sunderland (principally in summer) most of the Italian students, who need to improve their knowledge of …show more content…
In my previous job, (I worked 30 years for Italian schools as Director of administrative services) I was involved in school's projects and I know many ex collegues who are still working in this field. In this case, I could contact them directly, trying to make an agreement with their schools.

Nicki and her son Thomas, Rae’s sisters and their families, made their own way to the chapel at the Altona cemetery.

    Italian-American Assessment Americans typically use the famous rhyme “In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue” in order to remember when and by whom the United States was founded. However, people of Italian descent often look at this saying with a sense of pride due to the fact that the well-known explorer, Christopher Columbus, was Italian. Additionally, the name America stems from yet another Italian voyager, Amerigo Vespucci (Spector, 2013, p. 331). This sense of Italian pride and identity in the United States led the immigrants to travel to this country when the issue of poverty arose in their home nation. According to Spector (2013), the migration of over 5 million Italians struck sporadically between the years of 1820 and 1990 (p. 331).…

    Prior to 1938 Fascism had already asserted their power over the citizens of Italy. Just 13 years after Benito Mussolini, Duce of the Fascist regime, announced his intent to rule without Parliament; the Fascist regime had announced their Manifesto on Race which was published in Il Giornale d’Italia on July 14, 1938. Until this point, anti-Semitism was not a staple of the Fascist ideals and very little of a racial inferiority was mentioned towards the Jewish and other foreign nationals located in Italy. Despite the lack of anti-Semitic language in Mussolini’s laws and actions, the violence the regime had allowed and commended made the transition to anti-Semitism the obvious next step. I will argue that as Mussolini and the Fascist regime continued…

    This school year I enjoyed this English class because it was not very difficult, but it was not easy at all. This year we did so many assignments and some of them were analyzing poems, emulating poems, writing a theme of a poem, presenting a speech in class and then working as a group to create a chapter. I believe that I have grown throughout this school year. I have grown as a listener because back then I was not used to listening to poems without having a paper right in front of me.…
