La scrittura in italiano LS in apprendenti sinofoni: tra testualità e retorica
2022
Writing skills are a founding pillar of the linguistic-communicative competence of the L2 speakers, which requires a long process of learning and teaching. Based on a corpus analysis of texts written by 24 Chinese learners of Italian, this paper aims to explore whether elements attributable to construction models of the text typical of L1 affect the writing of second language and its embodiment. We analyze this corpus according to both the Contrastive (or Intercultural) Rhetoric and Second Language Acquisition point of views. The conclusion offers the result of the analysis with some reflections on teaching writing in Italian for Chinese students.
Narrare in italiano L2: Gestione delle strutture interazionali e linguistiche da parte di un campione di minori stranieri non accompagnati (MSNA)
2019
The present work moves from a wider project on Italian as L2 competence of a group of foreign unaccompanied minors (MSNA) included in the literacy courses of the Scuola di Lingua Italiana per Stranieri dell’Università di Palermo (ItaStra). The article focuses on the analysis of a narrative speech corpus from native/non native face to face conversations. The narratives involve in particular the experience of migration. In this perspective, a special attention will be paid on the interaction turns, the discourse and pragmatic competence, and the use of linguistic constructions typical of story-telling (the use of conjunctions, verb tense conjugation and adverbs).
