Abstract

The contribution focuses on online interaction as a new important dimension in the linguistic competence and repertoire of a learner, as highlighted by the Companion Volume to the CEFR. Starting from a quick overview on the theoretical framework related to the main features of the linguistic variety used in digital and multimodal environments and social networks, the paper will focus on the descriptors of online interaction presented in the Companion, referring to the initial consultation process and then to a pilot project carried out by the Italian Ministry of Education in cooperation with INDIRE, involving a school network all over Italy. Some comments from the teachers involved in the projects will be reported and discussed and in particular, an example of project carried out in one of the schools will be highlighted. As a general conclusion, experimenting the descriptors of online interaction turned out to be a very effective way to reflect and become aware of the importance of digital literacy and online communication and interaction in a foreign language, for both teachers and students.

外语教学中的在线互动:CEFR配套卷的意大利试点项目

本书的贡献集中在在线互动作为学习者语言能力和语言技能的一个新的重要维度，正如CEFR的配套卷所强调的那样。从快速概述与数字和多模态环境和社交网络中使用的语言多样性的主要特征相关的理论框架开始，本文将重点关注指南中提出的在线互动描述，参考最初的咨询过程，然后参考意大利教育部与INDIRE合作开展的试点项目，涉及意大利各地的学校网络。参与项目的教师的一些评论将被报告和讨论，特别是在其中一所学校开展的项目的例子将被突出。总的来说，实验在线互动的描述符是反映和意识到数字素养和外语在线交流与互动的重要性的一种非常有效的方式，对教师和学生都是如此。
