L’italiano con i graffiti

Patrimonio artistico-culturale: percorso per l’italiano L2

Abstract

Over time, many models have been conceived to teach and evaluate the Italian language and Art culture for foreign learners and more recently for sectorial language learning. This paper is the result of research on specialist vocabulary and the acquisition of pragmatic skills through innovative, motivating teaching strategies, also useful for the enhancement of intrinsic skills of each learner. The corpus of the research includes: i. the implementation of an Italian L2 Art syllabus inspired by established models; ii. the results of experimentation based on a didactic module, in which graffiti were used as functional input for the learning; iii. the initial assessment of the relationship between iconic and linguistic codes aimed to improve the acquisition of skills in L2.
