Abstract

In this article, we briefly review the main stages of the evolution of language teaching in the Italian school system and the parallel development of pedagogical journals. Then, we will focus on the roles and functions of the journals of language teachers’ associations, analysing their characteristics and developments, also in light of recent technological innovations. The specific case that we will examine will be the journal SeLM. Schools and Modern Languages, edited by ANILS, the Italian National Association of Teachers of Foreign Languages.
