Rozwój kompetencji interkulturowych na przykładzie podręcznika do nauki języka włoskiego Campionato d’italiano. Nowe tendencje w praktyce glottodydaktycznej?

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to examine themethodology of teaching intercultural competencies in the innovative textbook for learning the Italian language, Campionato d’italiano. The use of the football theme – one of the cultural phenomena attracting the interest of the broad masses of society – as the main thematic pattern of a textbook for teaching L2 integrated skills fills a gap existing in the publishing market, but also prompts scientific reflection on the purposefulness and possible implications of such an approach in relation to the field of the development of intercultural competencies. Applying the evaluation criteria for the development of intercultural competencies proposed by E. Bandura, a content analysis of the didactic activities extracted from the analyzed material was made, showing significant glottodidactic differences in relation to previously available course books for teaching the Italian language.
