In un periodo contraddistinto dal rapido moltiplicarsi di strumenti e tecniche, è importante non perdere di vista le coordinate sociali, psicologiche e più ampiamente umanistiche che rendono la glottodidattica una disciplina di intervento. Attenta alle indicazioni delle politiche linguistiche odierne e con un forte ancoraggio al contesto di ricerca...

Le caratteristiche dell'ambiente di apprendimento influiscono direttamente sulle modalità di erogazione dei contenuti, sulle possibilità di interazione fra i partecipanti e sul modello di lingua e cultura proposto. Le ricerche e i proge...

In this paper, we grapple with the problem of what it means for a placement test to be communicative or even "action-oriented" (CEFR, 2001). Communicative tasks ("any purposeful action considered by an individual as necessary in order to achieve a given result, an obligation to fulfil or an objective to be achieved", ibid.: 10) are especially diffi...
