What do teachers say about this resource? (12217)
Excellent, really well done. I liked that it covers all topics in the spec and it's really up to date. It's excellent practice for students as it follows the exam papers themes and exam-type tasks.
A useful resource to practice Listening. The transcripts are made very well. The themes’ topics are covered in a clear and deep way.
Covers the topics of the second year and the questions have the same format as the real exam. It follows the same order and same format as real exam papers. These will help with listening practice for the exams, assessment as they can be used as end of unit test. The transcripts can be used as resources for further reading and support for the speaking exams too.
What do teachers say about this resource? (12073)
I liked everything. It clearly shows the Italian culture. Usually I spend a lot of time teaching themes; by reading this resource I have found it really useful in order to be updated about Italian news and culture, and consequently helpful to introduce topics to students. In my opinion it hits absolutely the target! As a tutor of Italian language for A Level I have found this resource so helpful for me; often students are not interested in studying themes, therefore by using this resource I can introduce them to the topics.
Finally some listening resources for all topics for year 1! I liked that all topics and subtopics were covered. This will allow teachers to have end of topic tests also for listening. I also liked the choice of content for subtopics, which are in line with the ones indicated by the board for example a track on 'Imprese familiari', for which it is difficult to find resources. These resources will be supporting teaching in terms of consolidating and testing what it has already been learned. Equally they can be used to introduce new unfamiliar topics like 'Il reddito di cittadinanza' by exploiting vocabulary and expressions. The presentation and layout is very good, very clear and questions format is very similar to the real exam papers. They perfectly match the themes and subthemes of the specification. [Would you purchase this resource?]
Yes, definitely as soon as they are published.
It's excellent! The tasks type questions follow the A Level exam format and the topics are very up-to-date. The fact that the topics within the listening tasks fully cover the specification and they cover the most up-to-date issues in Italy. It gives the chance to students to practice listening further as it's always difficult to find listening resources for A-Level.

It is so great to have resources for A-Level Italian that I do not have to create myself!
It relates exactly to the specification we are studying. It is a good way to keep my students on track while working from home.
It is a perfect fit for the specification we are following. If you are teaching A-Level Italian, it is a must!
It is perfect for our students covering the second year of the A Level syllabus.
It is perfect as it covers all topics and major subtopics. I liked this resource and I find it very useful. It covers all topics of year 2, it contains more than one reading for each topic and it can be used for end of unit test
I have never found resources with ready made reading activities which can be used for end of term exams/ end of units tests ( they have marked questions with graded achieved)
This resources will help my students because we can use this as end of units tests, so they they can assess their progress and knowledge
This is an excellent resource as it can help with assessments and tests.
It has several reading for the same topics.
It can also be used as a starter in the lesson.
We can keep track of students progress.
I would definitely buy this pack.This is a great set of Reading Exam practice for A Level Year 2 Edexcel Italian specification. I love the fact that the author has included a variety of texts which perfectly match the new Italian A Level spec. Since there are currently no books/textbooks to teach the new Italian A-level spec, this resource pack bridges the gap.
What do teachers say about this resource? (8487)
I liked this resource very much and I think it is also very helpful in my lessons. I liked it because:
1) It covers all topics and major subtopics of year 1 programme
2) It contains several readings for the same theme
3) Format for Tests and Internal Exams
This will help my students as I will be using it as End of Units Test, so it will help tracking students progress and knowledge of the topic or theme. It also contains pictures to anticipate content of the reading text.
I have never found resources ready for tests and exams type activities. The format is ready for tests and End of Units or Term exams wtih clear answers sections and several readings for the same topic/ theme.
I would highly recommend this resource as it covers all topics and major sub topics of the year 1 programme.
Generally very impressed with the range, nature and quality of the texts […] and their accompanying questions, which require the selecting of four correct statements or six single multiple-choice options, followed by short, free format responses. I particularly like this resource because of its wide range of themes, which I found both relevant and stimulating and include practical, contemporary issues as well as cultural and historical aspects of Italian life and literary as well as factual works and surveys.
I am really impressed by this collection of texts. There are lots of opportunities to expand vocabulary with the help of the technical language. They offer the students a variety of structures and styles. I particularly like the authentic materials (my favourite is the text from Cuore, by De Amicis) and how the questions styles are very similar to what the students have to do in the Edexcel paper.
