1. CONTENTS. Moving from a general survey on the fundamental aspects of reading and writing education and going through some significant educational activities, after considering the Indicazioni nazionali per il curricolo dell'infanzia e del I ciclo di istruzione (2012), the course will take account of:
- linguistic development;
- writing systems;
- literacy/illiteracy;
- written-language teaching and learning;
- reading and writing for beginners;
- children interest, motivation, self-evaluation, and autonomy;
- communicative competence;
- classroom communication and pragmatic competence.
AIMS. Students will get (or strenghten) knowledge of:
- aspects and functions of communicative competence;
- methods for learning and teaching linguistic skills;
- observation and grading tools (useful for early detection of linguistic difficulties).
The course consists of lectures and practicing. We'll focus on skills.
