Programme
The course is divided into two parts. In the first part, a survey of the various educational tools for L1 and L2 learners used throughout history will be presented: from glossaries and exercises of medieval versions through school grammars and grammars aimed at foreigners to an examination of today's manuals, with particular reference to grammar books and anthologies for the two-year course and manuals for the teaching of Italian as L2. In the second part of the course, various topics of grammar and textuality of Italian in the literary text will be tackled: through the observation of the functioning of the structures in the literary text, students will arrive at deepening and perfecting their grammatical and linguistic knowledge, also learning how to exploit the literary text in L1 and L2 teaching.Core Documentation
