Using the popular topic ‘Animali’, the activities in Gli Animali Domestici are designed to assist LOTE teachers with the introduction and extension of the Italian language. The topic can be extended for use in other learning areas, and the curriculum-based approach reinforces the aims and objectives already in place within the class. As the teaching of LOTE can be a difficult task, the activities are both stimulating and enjoyable, resulting in an effective and continued interest in learning.

Gli Animali Domestici Activities have been extensively tested and are aimed at middle and upper primary students.
