Technologies for teaching Italian L1/L2 and foreign languages. An experimental investigation.

This contribution discusses the results of a questionnaire focused on the use of some indicators aimed at evaluating the technologies used for teaching foreign languages and Italian as first and second language (L1/L2). Starting from the scientific literature review (Facchetti, Grosso and Nitti), a glottodidactic questionnaire (Nitti 64) was structured to detect the critical issues associated with the adoption of glottotechnology. The sample for the questionnaire was a group of language teachers trained in teaching modern languages and educational linguistics within the courses provided by the Centro Interculturale della Città di Torino (Intercultural Center of the City of Turin). Data analysis clearly shows the desire for linguistic-educational training and the need for further and tighter linkages between the academic and professional spheres.
