🇮🇹🤖 AI in the Italian Classroom - our teachers led the way!

We recently wrapped up our latest Italian Teachers' Professional Development Workshop and what an inspiring series of sessions it was! ✨

Under the theme "Artificial Intelligence as a Didactic and Linguistic Co-Pilot", Queensland's Italian language teachers explored how to harness the power of AI tools - from Google NotebookLM and Gemini StoryBook to ChatGPT, Suno, Padlet, and more - to create richer, more engaging lessons while keeping themselves firmly at the heart of the learning process. 💡👩🏫

From AI-generated songs targeting grammar features 🎶 to custom chatbots that reduced speaking anxiety 🗣️ - the possibilities were truly exciting!

Because the best Italian language education starts with empowered, inspired teachers. 💛

Read all about the workshop on our blog - and find out how to register for next year's PD sessions 👉 https://www.italianlanguagecentre.org/ai-in-the-italian-classroom-ilc-professional-development-workshop-2026/

A presto! 👋

☀️🇮🇹 Did you know that in August, Italy almost comes to a standstill? 🏖️✨

While Australia rugs up for winter ❄️🧥, Italy is in full swing of its favourite season - estate (summer)! And for most Italians, August means one thing: ferie (annual leave). 🌞🌊

Offices close, cities grow quieter, and millions of Italians head to the beach 🏖️ the mountains 🏔️ or back to their hometowns to slow down, recharge and spend precious time with family and friends. 💛🌿

It's a tradition unlike any other - and one that says so much about the Italian way of life. 🍦😄
