I CORPORA DI L2 COME SPUNTI PER LA RIFLESSIONE DIDATTICA. L’INTERAZIONE NATIVO-NON NATIVO NEL PERCORSO FORMATIVO DEGLI INSEGNANTII

Abstract

This contribution describes an experimentation conducted with a Master degree group of students at the Complutense University of Madrid, in order to observe their capability to identify a series of textual and phrasal connectives in Italian as L2 through the analysis of three texts (of different linguistic levels) extracted from the A.Ma.Dis corpus. The data show that the intervention was a successful inductive and corpus-based learning experience, and that the students were able to identify and classify connective elements quite correctly. Data collected by the students also show a clear convergence between the increase of the number and variety of connectives used by non natives and the improvment of their global proficiency.
