(syllabus)
The cycle of lessons, entitled "Teaching languages in complex societies: the European context", is divided into two parts. The first part will be dedicated to the framing of historical natural languages within more general human communicative activities: from simpler codes, such as traffic lights, up to more complex ones, such as calculations and language, passing through catalogs and classifications. With in-depth studies and group work sessions, some codes will be examined through their 4 dimensions, illustrating how they work together; for languages, particular attention will be paid to the analysis of the semantic and pragmatic dimensions, focusing on the elementary glossary of linguistics for these specialistic fields.
In the second part of the course, the theoretical aspects previously addressed will be applied in a didactic key: how can a language be learned and taught in the light of its characteristics? What approaches have been experimented, and with what results in the analysis of these processes? What conceptual and methodological resources do we have today to guide us in the complexity of the challenges we face? The focus, this year, will be on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, a fundamental document for the promotion of language policy in the European context. In the classroom, we will carry out exercises on Italian written and oral texts from different channels (radio, television, computer-mediated communication, press, etc.), interpreting their characteristics from the point of view of the linguistic skills involved.
