The didactization of materials for teaching Italian as foreign language based on students' learning styles and strategies.

Abstract

The purpose of the research that we present in this article is to investigate how students’ specificities (learning styles and strategies, and also their interests and needs) can be taken into account when we, foreign language teachers, didactize materials for our classes. The preliminary data analysis points to the importance of didactizing materials based on the students’ particularities in order to foster their meaningful and autonomous learning.
