Meeting Description:

The increasing number of International and Chinese students enrolled in study programmes such as Marco Polo / Turandot makes it more and more necessary to reflect, from both a theoretical and an applied perspective, on the processes of acquisition, teaching and assessment relative to a category of learners with peculiar needs and learning goals which are strictly connected to the academic requirements.

The conference is divided into two sections. On the first day international experts will present scientific analysis on the link between teaching and assessment of a L2, processing instruction, task-based language teaching and on psycholinguistic correlates of L2 acquisition in adulthood. During the second day, in addition to talks, a poster session will be organized which aims at describing good practices of acquisitional didactics or studies on the relation between teaching and acquisition of morphology, syntax, vocabulary, pragmatics and language testing. The poster session is open to scholars, teachers and students.

During the conference will be presented and commented upon a Manifesto for the Teaching of Italian Language to International Students Proposed by the Conference Organizers and Already Subscribed by Some Italian Universities.
