Welcome to ALL’s Italian website
Thanks to everyone who came to the Italian Day in London on 10th October! Peter has posted his slides and handout on the new 10th October page…
This site is managed by ALL’s Italian committee to let you know about events and other sources of support.
The committee runs lively and friendly events and workshops for teachers of Italian in the North, Midlands and South of England. It also acts as the editorial board for ALL’s Italian journal Tuttitalia, and promotes the interests of Italian teachers and learners.
Belonging to ALL is a great way of meeting other teachers of Italian, keeping up to date with developments and sharing ideas. Benefits include a choice of language journal, a free subscription to Languages Today magazine, a weekly e-newsletter, and discounts on the cost of events.
The Italian committee
There are currently six members of the Italian Committee. All work full time and give their time on a voluntary basis.

LANGUAGE WORLD 2010
The next Language World conference and exhibition will take place from 25-27 March in the beautiful city of York. It will be an extra special conference as we will be celebrating the first 20 years of the Association! The programme and booking forms will be sent out to members nearer the time. The theme of the conference is Building on firm foundations – steps to success. You can contribute to Language World 2010 by:
- suggesting speakers and contributors
- letting us know of themes and topics which you feel would be of particular interest
- offering a session yourself – anything from a full 50 minute talk to offering or being part of a “show and tell” session (see call for contributions below)
- simply being there – participants are what make Language World buzz!
Send your ideas to Sheila James: sheilaj@all-languages.org.uk, or if you are considering offering a session and you’d like to talk it through with someone in advance call us on 0116 229 7454.
