Programme

Through the methods and tools of textual linguistics, the course considers the problems linked to the relationship between linguistic education and literary education and the didactics of text analysis and production. The digital revolution has in fact brought about a change in the reception and production of texts, but also the imposition of a different textuality. In such a scenario, the Italian language teacher is called upon, on the one hand, to deal with these new products and to introduce them into his or her teaching, but must also know how to provide learners with the appropriate tools to receive and produce "traditional" textual products and to approach the literary text. Particular attention is also given to the dimension of interculture and multilingualism: strategies and phenomena will be addressed from the perspective of teaching Italian as L1 and as L2.
