Italian
In 2018, NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) released a new K-10 syllabus for Italian. Teachers implement this syllabus in 2019 with Years 7 and 9, and in 2020 with Years 8 and 10.

The Italian K-10 syllabus was developed using the Languages K-10 Framework. As all K-10 language syllabuses (2017 and later) are underpinned by this framework, teachers should view resources across all languages to access a broader range of sample scope and sequences, unit starters and assessment tasks.
Sample scope and sequence documents
Sample assessment tasks
- Stage 4 – Let’s eat! (DOCX 60KB)
We have also presented the same task in an engaging online format, including the task, outcomes, directions and useful links for the student to follow. You'll also find advice for the students on creating and collaborating together from different locations and videos to spark inspiration.
Unit starters
A unit starter is a set of proposed teaching, learning and assessment strategies, arranged around a topic or theme. Teachers adapt the content to suit the needs of individual students and their local school context.
