Restarting from language education. Interview with Silvana Loiero

Abstract

The interview published here started from the letter addressed in September 2020 by Silvana Loiero, with Nicola Grandi and Miriam Voghera, to the then Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte and the Minister of Education Lucia Azzolina, with the significant title Re-starting from language education. In that letter, the three signatories, members of the national secretariat of GISCEL, stated that “language education does not end with the education of Italian or other languages, but must be referred to language in general”, a semiotic and semantic world that affects every aspect of life and logical thought and not only and consequently permeates the education and teaching of girls and boys. This is what Silvana Loiero, GISCEL national secretary since 2018, school manager in charge of teaching and teacher training, editor of the primary school magazine “La Vita Scolastica” from 2017 to 2020, talks about at length in the interview.
