La grammatica all’ età adolescente. Soluzioni didattiche applicate in una nuova serie di manuali "Va bene!"
Grammar at the Adolescent Age: Teaching Activities Applied in the "Va bene!" Course Book

Summary/Abstract: The present paper aims at presenting the practical applications of the action-oriented approach to teaching Italian grammar featured in Va bene!, a new handbook series intended for Polish learners between the ages of 13 and 16. According to the CEFR, such an approach treats language learners as “social agents” who accomplish tasks (which are not exclusively language-related) in a given set of circumstances and within a particular field of action. This definition mainly places the teaching/learning process into the social context: learners use the second language in order to achieve given communicative goals. According to pedagogical research findings, two essential factors influence the effectiveness of the learning process: an interactive environment and personal engagement, which allow learners to better elaborate on language data. The teaching tasks proposed in the series Va bene! attempt both to comply with the action-oriented approach and to fulfil young learners’ needs.
