Contrastive Analysis of the Interlanguages of Unaccompanied Foreign Minors Learning L2 Italian
2019
This paper proposes a contrastive analysis of the interlanguage of L2 Italian learners belonging to the category of “unaccompanied foreign minorsˮ, with the same L1 but different levels of education. The profile of unaccompanied foreign minors is complex and sociolinguistically very peculiar, since it is characterized by the frequent coexistence of a plurilingual ability and a (very) low, or zero, level of education. The study is based on oral productions collected through video interviews and studied with the support of conversation analysis. Focusing on the acquisition of verb inflectional morphology, the comparison of learners’ varieties aims to show to what extent several differences de…
Minori stranieri non accompagnanti: abilità, risorse e competenze
2019
L’apprendimento dell’italiano per i minori stranieri non accompagnati procede a passi relativamente rapidi anche se i ragazzi intervistati hanno una scarsa scolarità. L’età relativamente giovane, insieme a una esperienza di vita del tutto particolare, che li ha fatti crescere forzosamente, deve avere reso questi ragazzi particolarmente ricettivi nei confronti dell’apprendimento della lingua. D’altra parte, essa si presenta, ai loro occhi, come la porta principale di accesso a una condizione di vita che non può che essere migliore di quella che hanno lasciato e che, in ogni caso, offre loro la convinzione di avere più prospettive di vita e di riuscita di quelle che hanno lasciato nel paese d…
Unaccompanied Foreign Minors in Italy: Problems, Contradictions and Social Inequalities.
2018
In recent years, in Italy, the interest in Unaccompanied Foreign Minors has increased, also because the number of migrant arrivals has increased . The theme has activated several debates and policies to manage emergencies and to reply to the needs of children . In 2016, the minors who arrived on Italian coasts were 24 .929 . Sicily is the main region that hosts migrants and where 40,9% of the Unaccompanied Foreign Minors are present .

Bridges between people: nonverbal mediation in an intercultural perspective and training proposals
2019
Starting from the meaning of terms prejudices and mediation, the paper will deal with the theme of “intercultural mediation”, discussing aspects that characterize it, focusing on the non-verbal and creative elements. It will than reflect upon the necessary professional skills and on possible trainings through the body-artistic language (focusing on dance-movement therapy methodology), drawing inspiration from training experiences with professionals who face emergency situations within very complex social contexts. Italy receives 89% of the unaccompanied foreign minors arriving in Europe. However, Italy does not have adequate laws in place to initiate life projects and social inclusion which…
On the Impact of (Il)literacy on L2 Italian Acquisition of Unaccompanied Foreign Minors
2019
The aim of the paper is to analyse the interlanguage of L2 Italian learners with the same L1 but different levels of education. The learners belong to the “unaccompanied foreign minorsˮ category, whose linguistic profile is characterised by the frequent coexistence of a multilingual ability and a very low, or zero, level of education. Focusing on the acquisition of verb inflectional morphology and on phraseological units as well, the comparison of learners’ varieties aims to show that several differences depend on the only parameter that differentiates them, namely literacy vs. illiteracy in L1.
MSNA dal Sud al Nord Italia. Prassi e modelli di inserimento scolastico-formativo
2020
Gli alunni stranieri non accompagnati costituiscono un universo eterogeneo che rappresenta una sfida per la governante dei processi formativi. Da qui la scelta di offrire uno spaccato sull'inserimento formativo dei MSNA nei contesti locali, attraverso una ricognizione delle rilevazioni svolte in realtà del Nord, Centro e Sud Italia. Unaccompanied foreign pupils constitute a heterogeneous universe which represents a challenge for the governing of educational processes. Hence the choice to offer an insight into the training insertion of MSNA in local contexts, through a survey of the surveys carried out in reality in Northern, Central and Southern Italy.
