Progetto Italiano Junior is the first of 3 volumes of a course designed for students pre–adolescents and adolescents (11-16 years) as beginners or false beginners.
Progetto Italiano Junior is not merely a copy of Nuovo Progetto Italiano... Although it is based on its structure, this course designed for younger learners and respects the learning needs of this age group. each unit contains a comic story that develops the topic of the unit and tells the story of five young players who accompany the students in the three volumes of this language course. Progetto Italiano Junior addresses issues and themes that are familiar to students by exposing them to everyday language and socio–cultural Italian presented through exciting stories in comics. The characters are 5 Italian children, with whom students can identify because they have the same interests, face the same problems, have their own issues and experiences—all seen with realism and the necessary dose of humor.
