As a result of the Ministry of Education and Science project, which took over two years, specialist in Italian language, literature and culture from Lodz created concepts and developed 400 materials adapted to the core curriculum for teaching Italian in primary and secondary schools. All interactive lessons were designed using the latest teaching methods and received positive reviews from substantive and technical experts of the Centre for Education Development. They are extremely rich in content and form – detailed language issues are combined with information about Italian culture and learning is supported by various multimedia tools, such as videos, recordings, interactive dictionaries, mind maps, virtual catalogues and educational games. The materials are intended for students, teachers and anyone interested in learning and teaching Italian up to a lower intermediate level (A2+).

Agnieszka Woch, Associate Professor; Dr Elżbieta Tomasi-Kapral; Dr Tamara Roszak; Dr Dominika Kobylska; Dr Joanna Ciesielka; Dr Stefano Cavallo; Dr Justyna Groblińska; Dr Katarzyna Kowalik; Dr Adriana Grzelak-Krzymianowska; mgr Marta Sterna; mgr Aleksandra Sowińska-Borowska; mgr Piotr Kowalski, as well as lecturers and Italian language teachers from other centres: Dr Joanna Jarczyńska, Dr Milena Lange, mgr Katarzyna Górniak, mgr Joanna Kuligowska-Woszczyna, mgr Damian Rogala, mgr Agnieszka Ciarkowska-Nguyen, mgr Anna Ciepiela.
