In small steps… through facebook and youtube. The experience of a CPIA: literacy in Italian as L2 with self-produced videos

Abstract

In the 2019-2020 school year, following the suspension of face-to-face teaching for the whole school, the approximately 550 literacy students at CPIA Savona found themselves deprived of the opportunity to access their courses. This was an absolute novelty, complicated by the double linguistic and computer barrier. In a first meeting of literacy teachers for the activation of distance learning, the idea arose spontaneously of opening a facebook group, linked to the Institute's facebook page, and of using it to offer students contents that can be immediately used even by those who he had little familiarity with digital.
