2-history
The test given at the end of the school year aimed to assess in French the
History knowledge acquired in both Italian and French. An example is
given below (the complete test consists of 10 grids and a worksheet).
1- Tick the right box
The
Egyptians
The
The
Mesopotamians Phoenicians
The
Jews
They lived mostly by
farming alongside rivers
They lived mostly by sheep
farming in the nomadic period,
and by fishing and farming
in the sedentary period.
They lived mostly on maritime
trade in the Mediterranean.
Each test was evaluated following subject-specific criteria. Each student
obtained results similar to those they would have obtained in comparable
tests in the Italian language. Even in the light of the small-scale experience,
the outcome would demonstrate that the use of L2 did not hinder learning.

The activity was carried out at Scuola Media Colorni - Milan, Italy, in the school year
1999-2000.
