Learning objectives
At the end of the course students are expected to: - acquire the epistemological foundations of language teaching and of the historic development of language teaching methodology - be able to put into relationship the theory and the implications for teaching practice, to analyze teaching materials, to examine a situation in order to set a teaching intervention and work out relevant exercises and activities, calibrated on learners’ specific needs; - develop critical judgments on the effectiveness and adequacy of teaching interventions with respect to the subjects to whom they are addressed.
Prerequisites and basic notions
No prerequisites required.
Program
The first part of the course will focus on illustrating the cognitive and psycholinguistic mechanisms underlying the acquisition of secondary languages, with particular reference to atypical learning contexts. Particular attention will be paid to the issue of bilingualism, the acquisition of two languages in bilingual children and adults and the interaction between bilingualism and neurodevelopmental disorders. The topic of developmental dyslexia will also be discussed, especially with reference to foreign language learning. In the second part of the course, the notions learned will be transposed into practice, analyzing the various teaching techniques that can be used for teaching languages in different learning contexts, both typical and atypical.
The program will be the same for attending and non-attending students. Attending and non-attending students are invited to refer to the detailed program, the slides and the materials uploaded on the e-learning page of the course.
Bibliography
Didactic methods
Lessons will be held in presence. They will have a predominantly frontal character. Interaction with the students will be encourauges, together with direct experimentation with the various teaching techniques discussed in class.
Learning assessment procedures
The exam will verify the theoretical and practical skills acquired by the students during the course.
It will consist of a written test lasting 1:30 hours and will include open and multiple-choice questions on the theoretical part, as well as discussion of practical cases on the basis of what discussed in class during the lessons. The questions will therefore focus on all the topics of the program, both those dealt with in the classroom during the lessons and which will be made available on the e-learning platform, and those prepared independently by the students on the texts indicated.
The exam will be the same for attending and non attending students.
Evaluation criteria
The tests will be evaluated according to the following criteria:
- substantial correctness of the answers and completeness of the contents;
- expressive clarity, argumentative ability and knowledge of the specific language of the subject.
Criteria for the composition of the final grade
The mark will correspond to the result obtained in the written test
