Syllabus

Course Objectives

A course in Italian literature aimed at a critical reflection on how to teach Italian literature in upper secondary school. The course aims to provide knowledge, methods and tools useful for the future professional career, combining the most recent critical acquisitions on the major authors of Italian literature with an adequate awareness of the role of Italian literature in middle and high school teaching (we remind you that the disciplinary sector L-FIL-LET/10 to which the course belongs is a ministerial requirement for first and second level school teaching). Attention will be devoted on the one hand to the study of school texts, and on the other to the resources offered by new technologies and Digital Humanities. In particular, students will be asked to reflect on the structure, style and history of the composition of the texts, to interpret them by recognizing their cultural value, to analyze the issues linked to the major periods of Italian literature, to recognize the lability of the boundaries between one discipline and another; they will then reflect on how to convey this content in school, avoiding easy schemes and critical labels, placing themselves in dialogue with the most recent school texts and proposing personalized teaching paths and methods. A special reflection will concern the meaning and the role of Italian literature from the Origins to the Nineteenth century in the education of the new generations. The course is recognisable within the framework of teacher training courses (so-called 60CFU).


Course Prerequisites

None

Teaching Methods

Lectures, students' seminars, sharing of multimedia materials, seminars with recognized scholars.

Assessment Methods

The written examination will consist of the writing of a coursework or didactic unit on a topic chosen by the student and first agreed upon with the professor. The paper must be centered on Italian literary texts and refer not only and not so much to school textbooks as to the recent scientific bibliography on the chosen authors. The coursework may not be devoted, except tangentially, to the same texts presented in the lectures or in other Italian Literature courses attended in previous years.

The time available for the exam will be 4 hours and the writing must be done during the session; students may bring texts and essays from which they can take precise quotations. The use of electronic devices is not permitted: it is therefore advisable to print out the materials.

In the assessment (out of 30 points), particular attention will be paid to the student's degree of knowledge of the texts and personal insight, as well as to the selection of information and the structure of the paper.

Contents

What to teach? How to teach it? The course will focus on the relationship between research and school teaching, on the centrality and precedence of the text, and on possible teaching methods in the field of Italian literature. Through the comparative study of the most up-to-date research on the major authors and of the Italian literature textbooks for the high school, we will try to understand what is the meaning of teaching Italian literature at school and how to do it.

More information

The Moodle platform is useful mainly for students attending; these are texts that will be read in class. At the end of the course, the slides projected during the course, containing examples from school textbooks, excerpts from authors and from essays, will be uploaded onto the platform. If necessary, a "supplementary readings" section for further study will be introduced on the Moodle platform for all students. Non-attending students may write to the lecturer by e-mail to obtain the Moodle access code. IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT STUDENTS ATTEND LECTURES. NOT ATTENDING students and Erasmus students are invited to contact the professor for further notice and individual preparation for the exam. It is also highly recommended to visit the professor during office hours if explanation on the programme, on method, on further reading is needed (attending and not attending students).
