How do the teachers at the Italian Bilingual School communicate with the students?
The method selected to deliver the curriculum is based on language immersion principles and follows the one person/one language approach, which requires each teacher to communicate with the children in only one language. This is to help children establish clear delineation between the two languages from the earliest stages. Teachers use a variety of methods outside the language, such as using gestures to give clues as to their meaning in order to link the verbal communication with something the child already knows and understands.
