Pinocchio alla Dante: Cambridge Italian Bilingual Group
ItalianLa Dante supports the learning of Italian for bilingual children living in Cambridge. We would like to give our children a new opportunity starting a new Pinocchio: Cambridge Italian Bilingual Group
which will consolidate their Italian and their understanding of our culture through a programme based on Italian literature, history, geography and Italian traditions. The methodology is novel and fun to attract the children’s attention and parents will be actively involved in their educational development. We’ll meet each Saturday for 12 weeks for a session of 3 hours and the children will have reading time and creative projects that will illustrate at the end of term. Italian through drama will be part of the projects to promote creativity and expressivity in their own language.
Bilingualism is a great gift we give our children and at La Dante there are expert Italian teachers who teach Italian grammar as well as our culture with flair and enthusiasm. Children will be inspired to get involved in workshops and will be able to achieve PLIDA qualifications with recognised diplomas up to bilingual C2 level.
La Dante is a qualified and recognised Examination Centre for PLIDA linked with La Società‘ Dante Alighieri in Roma.
Pinocchio: Cambridge Italian Bilingual Group at La Dante for bilinguals starts in the Spring 2013.
Scholarships are also available from La Dante Alighieri Society in Rome for students who wish to reach A level standard.
La Dante supports Cambridge Bilingual Network and Bilingual Matters.

Coccinella – Italian mothers and toddlers group at La Dante
ItalianCoccinella – Italian mothers and toddlers group at La Dante
La Dante is launching a new playgroup on January 15th 2013 for mothers, fathers and grandparents who wish to raise their toddlers bilingually. We invite the Italian community to come along on Tuesdays at 2pm to join a small group of children and parents singing along and playing together in Italian. La Dante continues to serve the Italian community giving them an opportunity and a place to meet at The Lodge, in our new beautiful premises. The learning environment is ideal as the children are exposed to natural Italian, borrow books and dvds, speak Italian with other children and get used to our language and culture the natural way. In the summer we have our bilingual families picnic in the green area with Italian food and cakes at weekends.
Activities with the toddlers vary from readings from Rodari to creative activities, miming, storytelling, listening to stories and encouraging singing nursery songs.
We encourage toddlers to make up puppets and play in a safe and lovely surrounding. This is also a wonderful opportunity for the community based in Cambridge to get to know each other.
Coccinella – Italian Mothers and Toddlers group
8 weeks in 2014 from the 21st January to 18th March, 2-3pm
Venue: La Dante in Cambridge
