π’π’π’ Welcome to " CECCANO 1 MAGAZINE"π₯³π₯³π₯³We now have our School Digital Magazineπ₯Έπ°, which will include lots of interesting stories, images, events, literary references, fun quizzes, delicious recipes and other articles suitable for many different fields and different studies. Our School Magazine will help, both young and adult readers, make sense of the world and provide context and clarity to complex issues, improving general knowledge and encouraging discussion and debates.
At I.C. Ceccano 1, you'll find a magazine in English, which will develop critical-thinking skills by stimulating your curiosity!
During this year, our students must be taught the skills that will allow them to continue learning and being able to focus on the creation of our gorgeous School Digital Magazine!

Why is it important to learn a foreign language?
To answer this question, we've done a scientific research project, based on the evidence that LANGUAGES FEED OUR BRAIN!
The many cognitive benefits of learning languages are undeniable. People who speak more than one language have improved memory, problem-solving and critical-thinking skills, concentration, ability to multitask, and better listening skills. They switch between competing tasks and monitor changes in their environment more easily than monolinguals, as well as display signs of greater creativity and flexibility. If that werenβt enough, as we age, being bilingual or multilingual also helps to stave off mental aging and cognitive decline.

Learning a foreign language can increase the size of your brain.
DID YOU KNOW THAT...learning a foreign language can increase the size of your brain?
This is what Swedish scientists discovered when they used brain scans to monitor what happens when someone learns a second language. The study is part of a growing body of research using brain imaging technologies to better understand the cognitive benefits of language learning. Tools like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and electrophysiology, among others, can now tell us not only whether we need knee surgery or have irregularities with our heartbeat, but reveal what is happening in our brains when we hear, understand and produce second languages.
