DIDATTICA DELLE LINGUE MODERNE

The course aims at giving some theoretical and practical instruments of didactics of foreign languages, through the knowledge of the main theoretical and methodological tendencies of glottodidactics.

During the course, made of 18 lessons, there will be several verifications that will not be evaluated, but that will be useful for an auto-evaluation.

Practical activities will regard a simulation of the midterm test (which will be evaluated) and a laboratory activity on simplification of school History textbooks (which is optional).

The students who will choose to do a practical activity will structure a lesson based on a simplified history text, and will present their work to the class. The final version of this work has to be submitted to the teacher one week at least before final exam.
