Programme
The course is divided into two parts. The first part deals with the syntax of contemporary Italian, with particular reference to the complex sentence and its constituent parts. Through the observation of the functioning of the structures of Italian, students will acquire full awareness of syntactic mechanisms, improve their grammatical and linguistic knowledge and identify the most appropriate methodologies for the treatment of the sentence in L1 and L2 teaching. The second part is dedicated to the analysis of textbooks and educational tools for Italian as L2, also from a diachronic point of view: genres, characters, critical aspects and recurrent themes of textbooks intended for L2 learners will therefore be examined, also in order to assess the aspects of some use for the teaching of L1 (and vice versa).Core Documentation
