DIDACTICS OF ITALIAN LITERATURE

The course is placed among the supplementary disciplines of the Master’s Degree in Italian Philology, Linguistics and Literature.
The course aims to provide students with the conceptual and methodological tools for the profession of Italian literature teacher in secondary schools. It therefore aims to identify insights into didactic models and their applicability in the classroom and to consolidate scientifically sound teaching skills.

At the end of the course the student will be able to identify and select the methods, techniques and teaching materials most appropriate to the achievement of the learning results provided by the legislation in the different orders and degrees of school for the teaching of Italian. He will be able to explain the process of reading, understanding and interpreting literary texts and its effects on learning and to know and use, in the basic models, the tools of didactic design for Learning Units.

To properly follow the lessons the student must have a good command of the Italian language, know the historical development of Italian literature and for direct reading the classics of our tradition.
