Bildungsziele
The module, in the linguistic area, focuses on the acquisition and didactics of the second language (L2), on contrastive linguistics, on Ladin language and culture. The module intends to provide students with the necessary knowledge to understand the acquisition processes of Italian L2 and, above all, the skills to plan, elaborate and conduct didactic activities in the field of Italian L2. Given the peculiarities of the regional context, the module will also deal in depth with the main structural differences and affinities between the Italian and German languages, as well as with the Ladin language and culture of the Dolomite valleys, with particular reference to the multilingual school system and the methods of integrated language teaching. Disciplinary skills Knowledge and understanding At the end of the module, students have a good knowledge of the principles, methods and contents of acquisitional linguistics, educational linguistics and contrastive linguistics, with particular reference to Italian L2 in the context of interaction with German and Ladin. Ability to apply knowledge and understanding At the end of the course, students are able to reflect on the linguistic development in Italian L2 of infants and children in pre-school and primary school, they are able to evaluate the resources available for language education in Italian L2 in pre-school and primary school and they are able to independently produce materials for language education in Italian L2 in primary school. They can also reflect contrastively on Italian, German and Ladin. Transversal skills Autonomy of judgement At the end of the module, students have attained critical and interpretative skills that enable them to make observations and formulate autonomous judgments on children's language learning in Italian L2 and on the teaching of Italian L2 in pre-school and primary school, with particular reference to the context of interaction with German and Ladin. Communicative skills At the end of the module, the students acquired specific communicative skills, in particular formal accuracy of exposition and selection of terms, argumentative ability and the ability to summarise in Italian. The insistence on linguistic topics stimulates greater control of the linguistic resources available, including for L2 teaching. The workshop activities, in plenum and in small groups, contribute to developing specific communicative skills such as argumentative capacity, formal accuracy and the ability to synthesise. Learning skills At the end of the module, the students have acquired specific knowledge and reflective skills that enable them to update and deepen their study of the processes of acquisition and teaching of Italian L2 autonomously, as well as to update themselves critically on the proposals of language education for Italian L2, with particular reference to speakers of German or Ladin L1. Furthermore, the didactic methodologies experimented during the workshops develop the capacity for linguistic reflection and didactic application spendable in the future profession of L2 teachers.

Art der Prüfung
Written tests on the contents of the teaching of Acquisition and didactics of Italian L2, of Comparative grammar of Italian and German and of the labs of Didactics of Italian L2 and linguistic education in the fields of experience; elaboration of didactic activities on the contents of the labs of Didactics of Italian L2 and linguistic education in the fields of experience and of Ladin language and culture, integrated language didactics. The assessments of the individual parts will contribute to the calculation of the weighted arithmetic mean according to the value of the CFUs attributed to each teaching and laboratory, which will constitute the starting point for the final assessment.

Bewertungskriterien
The examination provides a single final mark. The following are considered and assessed: relevance, completeness, capacity for critical analysis and independent reworking, originality, clarity of argument, lexical and grammatical appropriateness of answers and papers. The active participation shown by students in the workshops is also taken into account. In the event of a failing grade for the entire module, any successfully passed partial examinations will be considered as already passed at the next attempt to take the entire module examination. It should be borne in mind that, even in this case, a negative mark for the entire module will be counted towards the number of attempts available to take an examination. According to the Examinations Regulations, if a student fails an examination in three consecutive attempts, he/she may not register for the same examination in the three sessions following the last attempt (Art. 6, para. 4 of the current Regulations for Proficiency Examinations).
