Different sources have thus been investigated, taking into account in particular the Venetian school of educational linguistics. The second part of the article is devoted to the presentation of a model created for teaching and learning Italian for study purposes, that is a practical proposal also indebted to the Gestalt theory. The model results from the attempt to transfer to the field of educational linguistics both findings made available by psychological research and by neuroscientific studies, in particular those which rely on the embodied nature of language.

This was done with a survey focused on how content area teachers’ awareness develops as regards language education issues, with particular reference to inclusive language education. The main focus of the research covered two aspects: self-assessment of language education methodological competences and the perception of the need for further methodological training. The work illustrates the results gathered on both issues, whereas the results just regarding the former have been presented in another article. The longitudinal study carried out boosted considerations concerning both the specific case study and a wider vision of the general field of inclusive language teaching. In order to do so, the article considers some preliminary epistemological remarks on inclusive language teaching and the...

Dagli studi iniziali focalizzati sull'insegnamento e la valutazione dell'italiano L2 nelle scuole secondarie di secondo grado e successivamente all'università, hanno tratto origine nuove piste, di cui quella rivolta alle competenze linguistico-comunicative in italiano degli studenti del primo anno dei corsi di laurea triennali è una delle componenti del confronto oggetto di questa presentazione. Dopo un inquadramento generale del modello di lingua per fini di studio a cui si fa riferimento, si confronteranno i modelli di due test linguistici di lingua italiana per scopi accademici, l'uno rivolto a studenti L2 e l'altro a un pubblico indistinto, si presenteranno alcuni dati sulla validità e sull'affidabilità dei test, e infine si proporranno alcune riflessioni su aspetti generali circa il ruolo della Linguistica educativa nei percorsi...

Ne è nato un volume variegato ma coeso da cui si evince la volontà della Linguistica Educativa in Italia di proporre riflessioni scientifiche aggiornate ma al contempo fedeli ai paradigmi della disciplina, che vedono due degli assi portanti nella prospettiva interdisciplinare e nella ricerca di risposte alle molteplici sfide dell'educazione linguistica oggi.

The main purpose of the study was to verify the possibility of managing the passato remoto and the passive form by non-native students of Italian at an A2 and a B1 level of competence, starting from school-type texts (expository texts dealing with historical topics). The research stemmed from a premise in the morphosyntactic syllabus used in the University of Parma's Italstudio certificate, the premise being that the study of the passive form and the passato remoto be done earlier than in similar reference frameworks, namely that the two forms be introduced at the A2 level in terms of comprehension and B1 in terms of production.</p> </div>
