- describe the evolution of teaching methods;
- understand the role of the Common European Framework;
- identify the principal elements of planning, design and assessment involved in teaching Italian as a foreign language;

This is a face-to-face course; online teaching will be provided only if requested by the Covid-19 health emergency.
Students attend two 2-hour lessons a week, for a total amount of 36 hours.
Digital resources will be used as follows:
- Aulaweb: repository of teaching materials; information about the course and the exams; interaction with the students (“forums”); online assignements (“compiti”);
- Teams: workshops; online lessons (if necessary).
The course adopts a double approach (a frontal approach to explain the theoretical aspects and a "hands on" approach to get the students to practice the work of a language teacher).
The course aims to describe the different contexts where Italian language is learnt and taught. It also focuses on the theories, the approaches, the methods and the exercises to learn and teach Italian as a Second Language as well as on the Common European Framework. Furthermore, the course explores how to plan and design lessons and how to assess linguistic competence.

Classes will be held in the second semester (February-May 2021).
Assessment consists of an oral exam.
Before the oral exam students prepare a written work (project or essay), which is part of the assessment.
Further information will be given during classes.
The course is based on ongoing and final assessment.
For ongoing assessment students who attend lessons have to plan and present a lesson of Italian as a Second Language (individual or collaborative work) (project). Students who do not attend classes have to prepare an essay (ten pages). The subject of the essay will be defined by writing an e-mail to the teacher. Two weeks before the oral exam, students have to submit their essay via email.
The final assessment consists on an oral exam (at least one question for each of the main themes of the course).
