The teaching of Didactics of modern languages falls within the scope of the basic training activities of "Philology and general and applied linguistics" of the degree course in Languages and Linguistic-Cultural Mediation, specifically the activities aimed at providing basic training in the methods and in the tools of analysis and reflection proper to language teaching.
The course aims to provide:
Knowledge of the phenomena that characterize the language acquisition process (first, second and foreign), with particular attention to the linguistic aspects relating to the acquisition sequences and the development of the ability to use: variability, systematicity and internal and external factors to the individual that affect the acquisition process.
Knowledge of the characteristics of the interaction between native and non-native speakers, and its effects on L2 acquisition: input modifications and negotiation, role of output and feedback.
Knowledge of the development process of the competence to use a foreign language, with attention to the role of the context, of the input, as well as of the learning strategies involved.
Knowledge of language skills development processes, through examples relating to the various languages taught at the Department and in Italian schools, including Italian for foreigners.
Development of metalinguistic reflection, in a transversal way, giving particular emphasis to the comparison between languages and the enhancement of the linguistic repertoire of the learners.
Knowledge of the role of teaching in language learning, with particular reference to the main teaching methodologies developed in research, to optimize and enhance learning processes, including through the use of new digital technologies.
Expected learning outcomes: students will know the research on spontaneous and guided learning of foreign languages and aspects related to the order of acquisition; will be able to carry out metalinguistic reflections; they will be aware of their own linguistic repertoire and will be able to use the comparison between languages to optimize their learning; will know the processes of learning and using the foreign language, the role of the context and of learning strategies; they will know the processes of listening, speaking, reading and writing of foreign languages and Italian L2; they will know the main methodologies and technologies for teaching.

In the second language learning and use, assessment is a crucial process as it allows to account for the skills and competencies developed by the learner. In this course, through activities of analysis of teaching materials and case studies, we will explore the main aspects of this process, comparing Italian L2 and other foreign languages.
