Theater in Advanced- and AP-level Courses<\/strong> (Colleen Ryan<\/em>)<\/p>\n

Keynote Presentation<\/a>\u00a0 –\u00a0<\/span> Workshop<\/span><\/a>\u200c<\/p>\n

This workshop provides the advanced- or AP-level (or similar) instructor with practical approaches to literary text selection and analysis using the theatrical genre and techniques. With learning goals such as solid AP scores, advanced proficiency, and intercultural competence in focus, we will explore a variety of ways in which theatrical texts and techniques can help meet the goals of AP courses and prepare students for different segments of the exam. Participants will select and work with a text and engage in activity design.<\/p>\n

Visualizing Words, Expressing Images: Artful Writing<\/strong> (Elvira G. Di Fabio<\/em>)<\/p>\n

PowerPoint<\/a>\u00a0 –\u00a0 Handouts<\/a>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Italo Calvino writes in his Six Memos for the Next Millennium<\/em> (1988), “We may distinguish between two types of imaginative process: the one that starts with the word and arrives at the visual image, and the one that starts with the visual image and arrives at this verbal expression.” This session proposes pedagogical models for refining interpretive, interpersonal and presentational communication modes in Italian through an arts interface.<\/p>\n

Theater in Elementary and Intermediate Courses<\/strong> (Nicoletta Marini-Maio<\/em>)<\/p>\n

Workshop Activites<\/a><\/p>\n

This workshop will offer the Italian elementary and intermediate instructors insight and manifold examples of how theater and performing techniques can be valuable classroom tools for holistic language learning and artistic appreciation. We will work with brief excerpts of artistic texts \u2014 from popular music to literary works \u2014 focusing on specific learning goals, such as: pronunciation and intonation, socio-cultural contexts for vocabulary, the expression and comprehension of emotional undertones, rhyme and metre, and self-confidence when it comes to speaking. Participants will practice improvisational exercises designed to boost student motivation and community; they will learn the use of theatrical techniques for reading comprehension; and they will design a theatrical activity with excerpts from authentic texts.<\/p>\n

Letteratura italiana del ‘900<\/strong> (Mirtilli Morgana<\/em>)<\/p>\n

Riflessione e analisi della lingua italiana, attraverso la lettura, l’ascolto e la comprensione di brani letterari e lo svolgimento di attivit\u00e0 linguistiche adeguate che pongono in risalto: Le abilit\u00e0 di base La riflessione sulla lingua La struttura della lingua Il testo e il lessico Il testo letterario \u00e8 considerato un punto di riferimento culturale e nello stesso tempo una base di lavoro per una scoperta graduale della lingua. I materiali forniti sono destinati a un livello avanzato di competenza linguistica e possono essere lo strumento per l’insegnante che ne adeguer\u00e0 i contenuti alla sua classe. Si tratta di una metodologia che riesce a coinvolgere lo studente e a guidarlo alla conoscenza della letteratura italiana del ‘900, nelle sue linee principali e nello stesso tempo a indagare la struttura della lingua italiana. Le analisi sono state condotte su 144 brani letterari e le lezioni di lingua costituiscono una base che pu\u00f2 avere prospettive ulteriori di sviluppo. La lezione utilizzer\u00e0 un campione di tutta la ricerca e soprattutto metter\u00e0 in evidenza la metodologia e la didattica utilizzata, per fornire strumenti di lavoro autonomo e personalizzato agli insegnanti sia nell’ambito letterario sia in quello linguistico sia nella loro stretta relazione.<\/p>\n

L\u2019utilizzo di testi letterari per insegnare la lingua italiana<\/strong> (Anna Rein<\/em>)<\/p>\n

Workshop Presentation<\/a>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Nel 2007 l\u2019Ad Hoc Committee on Foreign Languages dell\u2019MLA ha emesso un rapporto in cui si sollecitava un approccio pi\u00f9 incluso nell\u2019insegnamento delle lingue straniere \u201cin which languages, culture, and literature are taught as a continuous whole\u201d (MLA 2007). Contrariamente all\u2019auspicato approccio curriculare che vede la combinazione di lingua e contenuti, i manuali per l\u2019apprendimento dell\u2019italiano pubblicati negli ultimi anni negli Stati Uniti, in particolare quelli usati a livello elementare, mostrano un graduale disinteresse nell\u2019uso di testi letterari con lo scopo di apprendere la lingua. Eppure, l\u2019uso della letteratura nelle classi di lingua presenta innumerevoli vantaggi sia per gli studenti che per gli insegnanti. In questo workshop prender\u00f2 in considerazione come si possa utilizzare la letteratura nei corsi di lingua italiana anche a partire dai livelli pi\u00f9 bassi dell\u2019apprendimento della lingua. Mi soffermer\u00f2, poi, a presentare alcuni esempi di attivit\u00e0 didattiche da me create e utilizzate nei miei corsi di italiano.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
