Italienisch als Herkunftssprache im Fremdsprachenunterricht : Die Rolle der Dialektkompetenz

Arona, Sebastiano and Kupisch, Tanja LU (2022) In Zeitschrift für interkulturellen Fremdsprachenunterricht 27(2). p.17-49
Abstract
We investigate the situation of heritage speakers in Italian language classes in a federal state in Germany, taking three perspectives: (i) the micro-perspective of heritage speakers, mostly fluent in Italian but often bidialectal, (ii) the meso-perspective of the teachers who must interact adequately with them, (iii) the macro-perspective of the education policies that determine the curriculum. The micro- and meso-perspectives will be represented by means of survey studies with former students and teachers, the macro-perspective by means of an analysis of policy-relevant documents. Results suggest that there is room for further improvement in teacher training when it comes to heritage speakers and their varieties.
