The aim of this workshop on the teaching of Italian through the use of cinema is mainly to share experiences and best practice in the use of film as an authentic resource for the teaching of Italian as a foreign language.
The teaching applications presented wil focus on the pedagogical principles of collaborative and inclusive learning strategies.
