Imparare l'imperativo a partire dalla mindfulness : un project work realizzato in una scuola di Barcellona

Research output: Contribution to journalArticleResearchpeer-review

Abstract

This essay aims to analyze a project work of Italian as a Foreign Language (IFL), carried out with a group of A1/A2-skilled students at a secondary school in Barcelona, Institut Escola Artístic Oriol Martorell. The project work was based on mindfulness from a communicative and humanistic approach. The first part of the study investigates some key concepts (communicative competence; task and project work; mindfulness). The second part introduces a case study where mindfulness and meditation are applied, jointly with the use of the imperative mood for advising to relax. The project-work enables to pursue simultaneously language acquisition and personal and social skills. The results show that mindfulness applied to IFL learning allows to sharpen self-awareness and creativity through a meaningful learning.
