LC Italian case studies

LC Italian - Lingua Italiana is the Leaving Certificate Italian examination, a school-leaving language qualification taken by candidates in Ireland who have studied Italian to senior-cycle level. It is intended for learners who can already handle everyday written and spoken Italian and who want certification of their ability to understand, produce and discuss the language at upper-secondary standard. The exam is built around five connected areas: listening comprehension, reading comprehension, written production (composition and structured writing), grammar and language accuracy, and an oral examination combining spoken interaction with a presentation or discussion. Because these components test different skills, preparation should be spread across all of them rather than concentrated on grammar drills or past-paper reading alone. The LC Italian case studies are 5 cases and about 2,677 words.
