CHALLENGES IN ITALIAN LISTENING COMPREHENSION: PERSPECTIVES FROM CHINESE UNIVERSITY CLASSROOMS
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.54103/2037-3597/32016Abstract
This paper presents a qualitative study investigating the development of listening comprehension skills among Italian major students at universities in the People’s Republic of China. The research aims to bridge the gap between theoretical sub-skills and classroom practice by identifying the specific cognitive and environmental challenges learners face when engaging with diverse audio input. Employing a triangulated methodological approach, data were collected through a questionnaire administered to Italian language students across different Chinese universities, supplemented by semi-structured interviews with Italian language educators. Based on this data, the study proposes a series of pedagogical interventions designed to enhance listening strategies and facilitate the transition to real-world L2 interaction.
Le difficoltà nella comprensione orale dell’italiano:
prospettive dalle classi universitarie cinesi
Il presente articolo presenta uno studio qualitativo che analizza lo sviluppo delle competenze di comprensione orale tra gli studenti di lingua italiana presso le università della Repubblica Popolare Cinese. La ricerca mira a colmare il divario tra le competenze teoriche e la pratica didattica, individuando le specifiche sfide cognitive e ambientali che gli studenti devono affrontare quando interagiscono con input audio diversificati. Utilizzando un approccio metodologico triangolato, i dati sono stati raccolti tramite un questionario somministrato a studenti di lingua italiana in diverse università cinesi, integrato da interviste semi-strutturate con docenti di lingua italiana. Sulla base di questi dati, lo studio propone una serie di interventi pedagogici volti a migliorare le strategie di ascolto e a facilitare la transizione verso l’interazione nella lingua seconda nel mondo reale.
