DAVVERO is an Italian program that offers a methodological approach anchored in action. The action-oriented approach is apparent in micro-tasks throughout the lesson cycle, which prepare learners for the final projects at the end of each chapter. As students complete task-based activities that are personally relevant, they will feel encouraged to take an active role in their own learning.
The Annotated Instructor's Edition of DAVVERO contains an abundance of annotations created to complement various teaching styles, save time in class preparation and course management, and provide additional ideas on how to extend some activities
The KWL Hub is a platform offering digital content and resources for students and instructors who work with DAVVERO.
The platform offers easy access to a vast array of material in different formats to help students better grasp and practice contents, build their skills, develop cultural insights, and meet learning objectives. The KWL Hub is easy, flexible and intuitive for all users.
Among its many features, we would like to draw your attention to a particular resource that sets DAVVERO apart from other programs.
These texts have been transformed into “roadmaps” for students with the following three elements highlighted and color-coded:
• Frequently-used word combinations and phrases
• Common connectors and discourse markers
• Structures that contain verbs, nouns, and adjectives with prepositions
By using this feature, students can exercise the recognition, acquisition and production of a linguistic repertoire that goes beyond simple words, allowing them to communicate with greater fluency and accuracy from the very beginning.
These texts are read aloud by Italian speakers. This feature allows students to listen to the text while they read along, listen after they have read the text themselves, or practice and check their own Italian pronunciation, among many other possibilities.
