(School of Homework – Italian L2). Scientific coordinator: Stella Peyronel.
The project is part of the agreement between our University and the City of Turin, which involves the collaboration between the two institutions in the development of initiatives related to “Turin University City”. There will be presentations about the Didactics of Italian as a Second Language (levels A1 and A2 of the Common European Framework) in the Secondary School of First Degree and the last year of Primary School, in order to increase the school performance of foreign students. Intensive courses in Italian – aimed to improve the language for both socialisation and study purposes – will be provided for students who have recently arrived in Italy; for the 2014-2015 school year, a linguistic support intervention will also be provided in order to help the students of the last year of Primary School transition into Middle School.
