The main research interests have always been focused on the learning and teaching of Italian L2 to adult migrants. Between 2002 and 2005 I managed a doctoral research at the Department on Social Change at the University of Macerata (“Language and culture policy, education and training”), on the plurilingual repertoires and language representations of adult migrants who study Italian L2; the empirical investigation included narrative interviews with Francophone and Anglophone learners from Africa and Russian-speaking learners from Eastern Europe. In 2010 she concluded a post-doctoral research project on teaching migrant women Italian L2 through self-narrative methodology, which put him in touch with a large number of women of African origin. Her current research interests include the teaching and learning of Italian L2 in a gendered perspective, with a specific focus on women of Maghrebi origin of different generations and the role of L2 and heritage languages in their identity construction and intergenerational transmission. |
