DurationItalian, also known as Standard Italian or italiano standard, is the official language of Italy, the Vatican City, San Marino and parts of Switzerland. It is also an official language of the European Union.
Italian is, and has been for many years, one of the major community languages in Australia and has been taught in Australian schools and universities since the 1930s. Italian belongs to the Romance family of languages and is closely connected to its ‘sibling’ languages of Spanish, Portuguese and French.
It is mostly a phonetic language, pronounced generally as it is written, which is especially helpful in the development of listening and speaking skills. There are also regional dialects of Italian that are used in local contexts both in Italy and beyond. Some students may bring their experience of the use of regional dialects to the Italian classroom.
Learners of Italian in Australian schools come from a wide range of backgrounds, and include learners for whom this represents a first experience of learning Italian; learners who have existing connections with Italian, most directly as background Italian speakers, as second or third generation Italian Australians; and learners who may have experience in a related variety of Italian or another Romance language.
Who We Are
The School of Languages is a government school which specialises in languages education. Since its establishment in 1986, this unique South Australian school has supported thousands of students to pursue their interest in languages learning and to experience the joy of embracing another culture.
The school was initially founded as a secondary school for students from all three sectors. In 2000 the school introduced its first classes for students from Reception to Year 7. Since then our primary classes have continued to grow in popularity and demand.
Our Mission
The School of Languages aims to enhance access, choice and continuity in language learning for South Australian learners, through the provision of quality programs in a broad range of languages R-12, that complement and supplement languages programs offered in mainstream schools and ethnic schools.
Our Values
Our Unique Context
Students from Government, Catholic and Independent schools come together after school hours to learn the language of their choice, which is not available in their home school. Lessons are held once a week in a friendly environment of committed professionals and motivated students. This provides for a sustained focus and time for extending students’ learning through a wide range of activities.
Teaching Centres
Our classes are held in schools across Adelaide, with Adelaide High School being the largest centre. Approximately 25 other teaching centres offer a variety of languages at various year levels, in response to local demand.
We give special acknowledgement and appreciation to the many schools across Adelaide that host our programs, thus enabling students and their families to benefit from learning a language.
Choosing To Learn A Language
Studying another language offers many rewards, including:
being able to communicate, interact and negotiate within and across languages and cultures
understanding one’s own and others’ languages, thus improving literacy skills, including in English
understanding selves and others, and the diverse ways of knowing, being and doing
further developing cognitive skills through thinking critically and analytically, solving problems, and making connections in learning
becoming more competitive in the global market.
Languages Taught
A wide range of languages is available through the school, both at primary and secondary levels.
