Acquisition and use of discourse markers in academic discourse by L2 learners of Italian
The project aims to study the acquisition of discourse markers by L2 Italian students engaged in international mobility. Discourse markers play a fundamental role in the development of pragmatic competence and, for this reason, can be considered a class of elements for which it is useful to investigate the acquisition process. In the initial phases, a corpus of texts will be compiled and subsequently analyzed in an attempt to identify stages of acquisition.
Interessi di ricerca
My research interests mainly concern second language learning and the use of technology in teaching. This latter aspect will also play a fundamental role in my doctoral studies, which include a research program on sustainability and digital language teaching.
