Attiva il Lessico – Ideal supplement for vocabulary

The two volumes on vocabulary Attiva il lessico 1 and Attiva il lessico 2 are ideal to complement the lessons, independently of the textbook used, to deepen a specific topic and also for self-study.

Important vocabulary topics

The semantic fields of the first volume cover classic teaching topics such as azioni quotidiane, vacanze, città, casa, ristorante, abbigliamento and sport, to name but a few, and are also suitable for level A1,despite the book’s classification as A2/B1.

The second volume also covers more complex vocabulary areas, such as expressions useful for writing messages and requests or expressing one’s opinion.

Consolidating and actively using the vocabulary

The strength of the books, as the title suggests, lies in the repetition, reuse, consolidation and enrichment of lexical knowledge.

The approach is thematic and the meaning of the various terms is always presented in context. For each topic, there are exercises to discover synonyms or antonyms of familiar words, fun activities such as crossword puzzles or anagrams, and word assignments (e.g., verb + noun).

At the end of each thematic unit, ideas for a discussion on the topic covered are offered, with the opportunity to immediately and actively apply the newly learned vocabulary.

Claudia e Renata

Claudia and Renata are Italian teachers and good friends. Their paths crossed late in life, but they immediately understood each other and their initial professional collaboration grew into a wonderful friendship.

Renata, who is passionate about languages, travel and Japan, graduated in Venice with a degree in Asian Linguistics (four-year degree in Japanese Studies) and completed her professional training with a second Master’s degree in Advanced Planning of the Teaching of Italian Language and Culture to Foreigners. Claudia, who is interested in foreign countries and public relations, studied International Science in Padua and specialized in intercultural communication in Munich.

They met at the Technical University of Munich, where both are lecturers responsible for teaching Italian to foreigners. They decided to face the challenge of the pandemic together and have become inseparable ever since. Renata is the more technically skilled and experimental of the two. She is always looking for new software, tools and teaching methods to surprise and motivate her students. Claudia is a volcano of ideas, always taking on new challenges and drawing Renata into new adventures. They share a love of their work and books that threaten to bury them alive sooner or later! A new textbook or grammar rarely escapes their attention (and purchase).

Therefore, they have decided to share their decades of experience with you, in the hope that their opinions and advice on the subject will be useful both to their colleagues and to anyone who wants to learn our wonderful language.
