Università Roma Tre

Italian Literature and Teaching Methods of Italian Literature
Course Plan
Italian literature from the 1800’s to present day in relation to European literature.
The course will be structured in three parts.
The first part will focus on the development of basic historical knowledge regarding Italian literature from the 1800’s to present day through a review of the primary literary movements and a study of the profiles of the great minds of Italian and European literature.
In the second part, the most significant works of the 1800's and of the first half of the 1900's will be examined through an in-depth analysis of the influence that certain literary movements and authors, both Italian and foreign, had on the entire European territory. The same form of scrutiny will be used to identify emerging contemporary authors of an era characterized by a concerning lack of affirmation of distinct literary movements and texts destined to become future literary classics.
In the third part, after the acquisition of the aforementioned knowledge, students will be given the opportunity to develop methodological teaching elements aimed at building educational paths for individual reading, group reading and reading out loud alongside future pupils of both pre-school and primary level, with the goal of guiding them towards a direct knowledge of the authors that, in the following scholastic levels, will be the focus of the teachings of Italian literature, with the ultimate goal of implementing a real educational continuity.
