Italian teaching platform for KS3 and GCSE

Plan Italian lessons, practise vocabulary and translation, set speaking and writing work, create printables, run live activities and track progress. Italian is currently Beta.

Grade 9 School brings curriculum, lesson planning, practice, homework, feedback, live activities, printables and progress tracking into one connected teaching workflow.

On this page

Italian is implemented in Grade 9 School as a target language and is currently labelled Beta. Teachers can create an Italian class, select its curriculum context and use the platform to connect lesson planning, language practice, assignments, feedback and progress evidence.

The Beta label matters: Italian is a real part of the current architecture, but Grade 9 does not claim identical content depth at every language and curriculum level.

Everything in one place

One platform for teaching, practice, feedback and progress.

Plan lessons, set homework, run live activities, generate printables, give AI-supported marking and track progress across Spanish, French, German, Portuguese and Italian.

One department, one workflow

Spanish · French · German · Portuguese · Italian

Use the same platform architecture across the languages your department teaches, while keeping each class in its own language and curriculum context.

01Make Italian part of the class configuration

Italian is selected as the target language when the class is created. That choice becomes part of the class context used by later curriculum and learning workflows.

For a department using several languages, this keeps Italian work separated from French, German or Spanish classes and reduces the risk of setting material from the wrong language context.

02Plan with Italian KS3 and GCSE structures

The built-in scheme-of-work system includes Italian within the verified MFL set, including KS3 levels and GCSE. The current KS3 Italian planning data includes language-specific content rather than only generic translated labels, including an Italian Cultural Life unit in the Level 3 structure.

Teachers can use that curriculum context to choose units and build lessons or resources, while custom curricula remain available for departments following a different sequence.

03Use Italian vocabulary and wider language practice

Italian vocabulary content is registered independently in the platform. Pupils can use the content and learning routes exposed for their selected level, while reading, translation and other practice can remain tied to the same Italian context.

Grammar and other learning areas are capability-based. Grade 9 should show what is actually available for the current Italian level rather than assuming every language has an identical catalogue.

04Set Italian speaking and writing tasks

Italian is included in the current speaking-service target-language set. Teachers can collect speaking and writing work and use AI-supported feedback as part of a teacher-reviewed workflow.

This is particularly useful for repeated formative practice where pupils need another attempt after feedback rather than waiting for a large end-of-unit assessment.

06What Beta means for Italian

Italian is implemented, but Beta means teachers should not assume that every curriculum level has the same breadth as more mature language areas. Generated content should still be reviewed for language quality and pedagogy before classroom use.

Where the built-in Italian catalogue does not match a department's course, custom curricula and teacher-created content can extend the workflow without changing the class's target-language context.
