description: We present a follow-up study on a series of papers concerning the role of close interactions as a possible triggering mechanism of AGN activity. We have already studied the close (<100kpc/h) and the large scale (<1 Mpc/h) environment of a local sample of Sy1, Sy2 and bright IRAS galaxies (BIRG) and their respective control samples. The results led us to the conclusion that a close encounter appears capable of activating a sequence where an absorption line galaxy (ALG) galaxy becomes first a starburst, then a Sy2 and finally a Sy1. Here we investigate the activity of neighboring galaxies of different types of AGN, since both galaxies of an interacting pair should be affected. To this end we present the optical spectroscopy and X-ray imaging of 30 neighbouring galaxies around two local (z<0.034) samples of 10 Sy1 and 13 Sy2 galaxies. Based on the optical spectroscopy we find that more than 70% of all neighbouring galaxies exhibit star forming and/or nuclear activity (namely recent star formation and/or AGN), while an additional X-ray analysis showed that this percentage might be significantly higher. Furthermore, we find a statistically significant correlation, at a 99.9% level, between the value of the neighbour's [OIII]/Hβratio and the activity type of the central active galaxy, i.e. the neighbours of Sy2 galaxies are systematically more ionized than the neighbours of Sy1s. This result, in combination with trends found using the Equivalent Width of the Hαemission line and the stellar population synthesis code STARLIGHT, indicate differences in the stellar mass, metallicity and star formation history between the samples. Our results point towards a link between close galaxy interactions and activity and also provide more clues regarding the possible evolutionary sequence inferred by our previous studies.

Il feedback correttivo tra pari nell’apprendimento dell’italiano in Rete: osservazioni a partire da un corpus di interazioni asincrone
Creators: name: Nuzzo, Elena
Publisher: name: Italiano LinguaDue
Year: 2013

description: In questo contributo viene analizzato un corpus di cento messaggi contenenti interventi di feedback correttivo su produzioni scritte di apprendenti di italiano L2. Le correzioni sono fornite all’interno di interazioni asincrone online da parlanti nativi non esperti, cioè che non insegnano la lingua italiana per professione. Nell’analisi si osservano e si discutono da un lato le modalità di trattamento degli errori, con riferimento ad alcune delle tassonomie elaborate nella ricca letteratura sul feedback, dall’altro gli obiettivi linguistici degli interventi correttivi. Oltre a una preferenza per il FC Esplicito con indicazione grafica delle modifiche, ossia un tipo di correzione con cui si segnala l’errore sul testo e si propone una forma alternativa, e per interventi correttivi che interessano errori di ortografia, lessico e morfologia,l’analisi rivela numerose lacune nelle conoscenze dichiarative dei parlanti sulla grammatica della propria lingua. Si conferma dunque la necessità, per chi intenda occuparsi professionalmente di insegnamento delle lingue seconde, di sviluppare solide e specifiche competenze linguistiche.

Corrective feedback between peers learning italian on line: observations from a corpus of asynchronousinteractions

This paper analyzes a corpus of one hundred corrective feedback interventions on the written production of Italian L2 learners. Corrections are provided online in asynchronous interactions by native non-expert speakers, that is, people who do not teach the Italian language as a profession. In our analysis we observe and discuss the methods for dealing with errors, with reference to some of the taxonomies developed in the rich literature on feedback, as well as examining the linguistic objectives of corrective actions. In addition to a preference for explicit FC with graphic indication of the changes, a type of correction which highlights the error in the text and proposes an alternative form, for corrective actions regarding errors in spelling, vocabulary and morphology, the analysis revealed many gaps between the declared knowledge of the speakers regarding the grammar of their own language. This confirms the need for those who intend to be professionally involved with teaching of second languages to develop strong and specific language skills.

The birth of the Chinese population : a study in the history of governmental logics
Creators: name: Thompson, Malcolm
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: It was only in the early twentieth century that China discovered that it had a population, at least if a population is understood not as a number of people but instead in terms of such features as relative levels of health, birth and death rates, sex ratios, and so on—that is, as an object with a specific rationality that can be managed and improved. In 1900, such a conception of the population did not exist in China; by the 1930s, it was utterly pervasive. How did this transformation take place? This dissertation argues that it occurred at the level of techniques of governing and systems of knowledge production, and explains it from the perspective of changes in the institutional and epistemological forms by which interventions into other people's activities are organized. The installation of populationist practices into China is tracked in four sites: 1. The problem of "race efficiency"—formalized in this period as the cost in "race energy" of producing a given increment to a population—and analyses of the effects of different kinds of social organization on the production of life. 2. The institutional division of population registration into censuses ("statics") and vital statistics ("dynamics")—in a word, the formation of a statistical system based on mechanics. 3. Public health, whose object of care is not patients but the collective life of the population and its conditions of existence. 4. The problem of the China's "rural surplus labour-power" in relation to the formation of a national economy. This dissertation shows how the privileged position of the population in political and economic reflection in Republican China carved out a field of governability by which it was possible to enchain a variety of previously disconnected fields of activity into a single logic, the axiom of which was the capitalist accumulation of life.

description: We derive an explicit c-function expansion of a basic hypergeometric function associated to root systems. The basic hypergeometric function in question was constructed as explicit series expansion in symmetric Macdonald polynomials by Cherednik in case the associated twisted affine root system is reduced. Its construction was extended to the nonreduced case by the author. It is a meromorphic Weyl group invariant solution of the spectral problem of the Macdonald q-difference operators. The c-function expansion is its explicit expansion in terms of the basis of the space of meromorphic solutions of the spectral problem consisting of q-analogs of the Harish-Chandra series. We express the expansion coefficients in terms of a q-analog of the Harish-Chandra c-function, which is explicitly given as product of q-Gamma functions. The c-function expansion shows that the basic hypergeometric function formally is a q-analog of the Heckman-Opdam hypergeometric function, which in turn specializes to elementary spherical functions on noncompact Riemannian symmetric spaces for special values of the parameters.

description: Tra le pratiche glottodidattiche per promuovere l’apprendimento linguistico, il feedback correttivo si è rivelato uno strumento molto valido; tuttavia è frequente che l’apprendente non interiorizzi l’input fornito dalla correzione e persista nell’errore. L’ipotesi avanzata in questo articolo considera il fallimento della correzione come un problema di comunicazione tra insegnante e apprendente, in relazione al rispettivo concetto di errore e al modo di concepire la correzione. L’articolo illustra le possibili cause dell’inefficacia di un feedback correttivo, presentando dapprima le diverse modalità correttive disponibili per l’insegnante ed evidenziandone benefici e punti deboli. Si espongono poi le possibili preferenze accordate dagli apprendenti ai diversi feedback, precisando i motivi e i fattori determinanti dei loro orientamenti. A tal fine, l’articolo si apre con una panoramica sulle ricerche in merito al concetto di errore e al feedback correttivo, cui si aggiungono i dati provenienti dall’osservazione delle interazioni didattiche in tre classi Erasmus di italiano LS e dai questionari somministrati ai rispettivi insegnanti e apprendenti.

Error correction and feedback: theoretical contributions and a case study
Among language teaching practices to promote language learning, corrective feedback has proven to be a very valuable tool, but often the learner does not internalize the input provided by the correction and the error persists. The hypothesis is that the ineffectiveness of correction is a communication problem between teacher and learner, based on the concepts of error and how they concieve of correction. The article discusses the possible causes for the ineffectiveness of corrective feedback, presenting the various correction methods available to teachers and highlighting their strengths and weaknesses. We then discuss the preferences of learners for the different types of feedback, considering the reasons and the main factors that influence their choices. The article opens with an overview of research on the concept of error and corrective feedback, in addition to the data derived from observations of didactic interactions in three Italian LS Erasmus classes and questionnaires administered to the teachers and learners.

description: Analytical formulae for de Haas-van Alphen (dHvA) oscillations in linear chain of coupled two-dimensional (2D) orbits (Pippard's model) are derived systematically taking into account the chemical potential oscillations in magnetic field. Although corrective terms are observed, basic (alpha) and magnetic breakdown-induced (beta and 2beta - alpha) orbits can be accounted for by the Lifshits-Kosevich (LK) and Falicov-Stachowiak semiclassical models in the explored field and temperature ranges. In contrast, the 'forbidden orbit' beta - alpha amplitude is described by a non-LK equation involving a product of two classical orbit amplitudes. Furthermore, strongly non-monotonic field and temperature dependence may be observed for the second harmonics of basic frequencies such as 2alpha and the magnetic breakdown orbit beta + alpha, depending on the value of the spin damping factors. These features are in agreement with the dHvA oscillation spectra of the strongly 2D organic metal theta- theta-(ET)(4)CoBr(4)(C(6)H(4)Cl(2)).

description: We study a generalized quantum hard-core dimer model on the square and honeycomb lattices, allowing for first and second neighbor dimers. At generalized RK points, the exact ground states can be constructed, and ground-state correlation functions can be equated to those of interacting 1+1 dimensional Grassmann fields. When the concentration of second neighbor dimers is small, the ground state correlations are shown to be short-ranged corresponding to a (gaped) spin liquid phase. On a 2-torus, the ground states exhibit fourfold topological degeneracy. On a finite cylinder we have found a dramatic even-odd effect depending on the circumference, and propose that this can be used as a numerical diagnostic of gapped spin-liquid phases, more generally.

description: Abstract

Sea ice controls and is influenced by the exchange of energy, moisture and momentum between the underlying ocean and the lower atmospheric boundary layer. The physical properties of sea ice play a critical role in modulating these interactions. Of particular importance is the temporal evolution of the thickness of the ice and snow layers, both of which are a result of seasonally and spatially highly variable growth and decay processes. To investigate whether large-scale changes in the Arctic sea ice cover such as a general thinning and increased drift speeds are also imprinted on long term data sets from autonomous drifting platforms, we present an analysis of sea ice properties derived from sea ice mass balance buoys deployed in the transpolar drift system between 2012 and 2023, thus including the period of the Multidisciplinary Drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) experiment in 2019/20. In particular, we aim to assess whether the observed variations in sea ice mass balance by ice growth and melt in recent years are significantly different from previous years, or whether they remain consistent on an interannual time scale. To achieve this, a uniform processing scheme is developed and applied to large set of buoys with the aim to minimize methodological ambiguities in the derivation of snow–ice–ocean interfaces. We also present comparisons with external factors (both thermodynamic and dynamical) derived from satellite data and atmospheric reanalysis that influence the local sea ice mass balance observed by the buoys during their drift towards Fram Strait and adjacent seas.

Dinamiche linguistiche in contesto migratorio:  i discendenti di emigrati calabresi negli Stati Uniti
Creators: name: Palumbo, Maria Grazia

Year: 2013

description: L’obiettivo teorico dell’articolo è indagare le dinamiche di perdita e mantenimento della lingua in contesto migratorio italofono, individuando i fenomeni linguistici legati alla progressiva erosione della L1 in favore della L2 e stabilendo quanto influisca su questo processo la specificità del contesto migratorio. Si mostrerà come la volontà di trasmettere o meno la propria lingua ai discendenti sia solo un elemento nel quadro del mantenimento delle lingue in contesto migratorio, elemento da contestualizzare all’interno di fattori macrosociali e microsociali e di processi di progressiva semplificazione della L1 paralleli alla complessificazione della L2. L’esito ultimo di questi processi è la creazione di un sistema linguistico che non coincide perfettamente né con la L1 né con la L2, le cui caratteristiche sembrano governate da alcuni criteri, in parte enucleati nelle ricerche di settore, in parte da verificare con future analisi quantitative e qualitative. I dati sui quali si basa l’analisi sono tratti da un corpus di emigrati calabresi residenti all’estero raccolto tra il 31 agosto 2010 e il 24 agosto 2011.

Linguistic dynamics in migrant backgrounds:
the descendants of immigrants from Calabria in the United States

The theoretical goal of this article is to investigate the dynamics of loss and maintenance of language in Italian-speaking migrants, identifying the linguistic phenomena are lated to the gradual erosion of L1 in favor of L2 in order to establish how large a role the specificity of the context of migration plays in this process. We will show how the desire, or lack of it, to pass on their language to their descendants is only one element in the maintenance of the language in the context of migration. This factor is contextualized in microsocial and macrosocial spheres and in processes of the progressive simplification of L1 simultaneous to the growing complexity of the L2. The final result of these processes is the creation of a language system that does not coincide perfectly with either the L1 or the L2. Their characteristics appear to be governed by some criteria, partially enucleated in research, partly to be verified in future quantitative and qualitative analyses. The data on which this analysis is based is drawn from a corpus of Calabrian emigrants living abroad, collected between 31 August 2010 and 24 August 2011.

description: We describe an algorithm that uses Stallings' folding technique to decompose an element of $Aut(F_n)$ as a product of Whitehead automorphisms (and hence as a product of Nielsen transformations.) We use this to give an alternative method of finding a finite generating set for the subgroup of $Aut(F_n)$ that fixes a subset $Y$ of the basis elements, and the subgroup that fixes each element of $Y$ up to conjugacy. We show that the intersection of this latter subgroup with $IA_n$ is also finitely generated.

description: Il tema della diversità linguistica e del riconoscimento e della valorizzazione delle forme di bilinguismo dei bambini e dei ragazzi è cruciale nella scuola multiculturale e plurilingue. Ma quale rappresentazione della “mente bilingue” hanno i parlanti una o più lingue? Come immaginano la testa di chi e bilingue e dove collocano le diverse parole? Abbiamo chiesto agli alunni, piccoli e grandi, di alcune scuole di “disegnare il bilinguismo”: emergono in maniera vivida i “posti” diversi in cui le lingue si installano, i dubbi e le spiegazioni dei bambini, la necessità del controllo e la coloritura affettiva dell’uno e dell’altro idioma.

Drawing bilingualism

The theme of linguistic diversity and the recognition and appreciation of forms of bilingualism in children and young people is crucial in a multilingual, multicultural school environment. But how do speakers of one or more languages imagine a “bilingual mind”? How do they imagine a bilingual person’s head and where are the different words located? We asked school children to “draw bilingualism”. The “placement” of the different languages, the children’s doubts and explanations and their need to check and the affective coloring of one and the other language emerged.

description: Inspired by the Lee-Wick higher-derivative approach to quantum field theory, Grinstein, O'Connell, and Wise have illustrated the utility of introducing into the Standard Model negative-norm states that cancel quadratic divergences in loop diagrams, thus posing a potential resolution of the hierarchy problem. Subsequent work has shown that consistency with electroweak precision parameters requires many of the partner states to be too massive to be detected at the LHC. We consider the phenomenology of a yet-higher derivative theory that exhibits three poles in its bare propagators (hence N=3), whose states alternate in norm. We examine the interference effects of W boson partners on LHC scattering cross sections, and find that the N=3 LWSM already makes verifiable predictions at 10 fb^(-1) of integrated luminosity.

La lingua2 nel Web. Prospettive digitali per la didattica dell’italiano a stranieri
Creators: name: Quaggia, Roberto
Publisher: name: Italiano LinguaDue
Year: 2013

description: L'articolo si compone di due parti. Nella prima si espongono alcuni punti focali del dibattito sul rapporto tra glottodidattica e tecnologie digitali (dai dispositivi mobili ai software per la comunicazione, fino agli attuali socialnetwork). In particolare l’attenzione è rivolta sul fatto che la lingua della comunicazione digitale costituisce una varietà linguistica dal confronto con la quale l’insegnamento di una L2 non può ormai prescindere, e che le tecnologie digitali della comunicazione, se correttamente adottate fuori e dentro la classe, consentono di ridurre il confine tra apprendimento guidato e acquisizione spontanea di una lingua seconda. Filo conduttore della riflessione è il concetto di “competenza comunicativa digitale”, che si aggiunge alle componenti della competenza linguistico-comunicativa indicate dal Quadro Comune Europeo di Riferimento per le Lingue. Nella seconda parte del lavoro, dal taglio più didattico, si presenta una serie di strumenti e di esperienze di insegnamento/apprendimento della L2 con l’uso delle tecnologie digitali. In particolare ci si sofferma sulle opportunità offerte dal Web 2.0, simulando la creazione di una piattaforma per l’insegnamento/apprendimento dell’italiano L2 completamente online. Non si tratta di una semplice piattaforma per l’e-learning (o d-learning), ma di una vera e propria rete per l’insegnamento, l’apprendimento, la comunicazione e la formazione che trasforma il modo in cui si usa, si apprende e si insegna una L2.

L2 on the Web. Digital perspectives for teaching italian to foreigners
The article consists of two parts. In the first we illustrate some focal points in the debate on the relationship between language teaching and digital technologies (from mobile devices to communication software and current social networks). In particular, we focus on the fact that the language of digital communication is a linguistic variety which L2 teaching can no longer ignore, and that digital communication technologies, if utilized properly both inside and outside the classroom, reduce the boundary between guided learning and the spontaneous acquisition of a second language. The underlying theme is the concept of “digital communicative competence”, added to linguistic and communicative competences indicated by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. In the second, more didactic part, is a set of tools and experiences regarding L2 teaching/learning using digital technologies. In particular, we focus on the opportunities offered by the Web 2.0, simulating the creation of a platform for online L2 teaching/learning. This is not just a platform for e-learning (or d-learning), but a real network for teaching, learning, communication and training that transforms the way one learns and teaches a L2.

Linguisticamente il testo dei FI si pone nel più ampio contesto dei linguaggi specialistici, ma si distingue per alcune particolarità (il destinatario e la funzione che ricopre). Attraverso l’analisi del FI presente in un comune antipiretico, Tachipirina 1000 ®, si mettono in evidenza le strategie comunicative messe in atto dall’estensore e il grado di comprensione da parte del presunto destinatario. L’analisi mette inoltre in luce le caratteristiche comuni di questo tipo di testi altamente specialistici con il linguaggio settoriale della medicina.

This article addresses the problem of the comprehensibility of the leaflets in medicine packaging which indicate dosage, method of use and side effects (FI in the text). Linguistically, the text of the FI is placed in the broader context of specialist languages, but it is characterized by some peculiarities (the recipient and the role it plays). By analyzing the FI of a common antipyretic, paracetamol 1000 ®, we highlight the communicative strategies put in place by the author and the degree of understanding on the part of the intended recipient. The analysis also highlights the common features of this type of highly specialized text with the technical language of medicine.

Based on these theoretical and methodological premises, some educational exam preparation activities will be presented. Two activities test listening comprehension and two focus on production and oral interaction. The stress is on the importance of proposing teach able listening and speaking strategies, so that they become active habits and integral parts of the communicative learner’s baggage.

description: We study the properties of mixed states obtained from eigenstates of many-body lattice Hamiltonians after tracing out part of the lattice. Two scenarios emerge for generic systems: (i) the diagonal entropy becomes equivalent to the thermodynamic entropy when a few sites are traced out (weak typicality); and (ii) the von Neumann (entanglement) entropy becomes equivalent to the thermodynamic entropy when a large fraction of the lattice is traced out (strong typicality). Remarkably, the results for few-body observables obtained with the reduced, diagonal, and canonical density matrices are very similar to each other, no matter which fraction of the lattice is traced out. Hence, for all physical quantities studied here, the results in the diagonal ensemble match the thermal predictions.

description: La letteratura di viaggio, in specie quella sette-ottocentesca, presenta, tra molteplici motivi di interesse, ricchi spunti di indagine anche per la storia della lingua e certamente non è il minore quello relativo agli aspetti lessicali. Nell’articolo non si intende dare una descrizione lessicale completa dei testi odeporici esaminati, ma più limitatamente si presenta una serie cospicua di retrodatazioni e datazioni di parole raccolte in quei testi e quindi ricercate, così allargando lo spettro testuale oltre i limiti della letteratura periegetica, attraverso Google libri. Ma nonostante questo parziale spostamento di sguardo, le schede seguenti continuano a documentare la ricchezza del lessico dell’odeporica: termini scientifici, storici, stranierismi e regionalismi ben testimoniano la varia curiosità dei viaggiatori.

Backdating through travels
Seventeenth and eighteenth century travel literature features, among many points of interest, ideas for researching the history of the language, especially lexical aspects. The article does not intend to give a complete lexical description of the odeporic texts examined, but is limited to a substantial number of backdatings and datings of words collected in those texts, thusgoing beyond the limits of textual periegetic literature, through Google books. Despite this partial shift of attention, we continue to document the richness of odeporic vocabulary: scientifically, historically, through foreign terms and regionalisms, bearing witness to the varied curiosity of travelers.

Hyperboloidal slices for the wave equation of Kerr-Schild metrics and numerical applications
Creators: name: Jasiulek, Michael
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present new results from two open source codes, using finite differencing and pseudo-spectral methods for the wave equations in (3+1) dimensions. We use a hyperboloidal transformation which allows direct access to null infinity and simplifies the control over characteristic speeds on Kerr-Schild backgrounds. We show that this method is ideal for attaching hyperboloidal slices or for adapting the numerical resolution in certain spacetime regions. As an example application, we study late-time Kerr tails of sub-dominant modes and obtain new insight into the splitting of decay rates. The involved conformal wave equation is freed of formally singular terms whose numerical evaluation might be problematically close to future null infinity.

Le considerazioni finali evidenziano le analogie che intercorrono con la lingua tipica del graphic novel, oltre a individuare tratti frequentemente ricorrenti nel giornalismo a fumetti, evidenziando l’influenza proveniente dalla lingua del giornalismo tradizionale.

Igort’s “ukranian notebooks”
A linguistic analysis of a comic strip news report

The article considers the Ukrainian Notebooks, memories from the times of the USSR by Igor Tuveri, also known by the pseudonym Igort. The work looks like strip reportage, where the author describes his experience in the former Soviet Union. The first chapter presents the genre of graphic journalism, its diffusion in Italy and some of its formal features. In the following chapters, the analysis focuses on the aspects of the language adopted by Igort, in connection with the characteristics of the medium, “comics”, and the peculiarities of the genre in which the work falls. The final considerations highlight the similarities that exist with the characteristic language of the graphic novel, in addition to identifying traits which frequently recur in journalism/comics, highlighting the influence that comes from the language of traditional journalism.

On an efficient induction step with Nklt(X,D)
Creators: name: Chen, Meng
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Algebraic Geometry (math.AG)
subject: FOS: Mathematics
subject: 14

description: Applying the effective induction on Nklt(X,D) developed by Hacon, Mckernan and Takayama, Todorov proved that the 5-canonical map is birational for projective 3-folds V with Vol(V) sufficiently large, which was recently improved by Di Biagio in loosing the volume constraint. The observation is that the least efficient induction step can be studied in an alternative way, which allows to assert Todorov's statement for $vol(V)>12^3$. The 4-dimensional analog is also given in this note. The idea works well in all dimensions.

Universal energy distribution of quasi-particles emitted in a local time dependent quench
Creators: name: Smacchia, Pietro
name: Silva, Alessandro
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study the emission of quasi-particles in the scaling limit of the 1d Quantum Ising chain at the critical point perturbed by a time dependent local transverse field. We compute \it exactly \rm and for a \it generic \rm time dependence the average value of the transverse magnetization, its correlation functions, as well as the statistic of both the inclusive and exclusive work. We show that, except for a cyclic perturbation, the probability distribution of the work at low energies is a power law whose exponent is universal, i.e. does not depend on the specific time dependent protocol, but only on the final value attained by the perturbation.

Understanding divorce in the context of stepfamilies
Creators: name: Zwicker, Amy Elizabeth
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Although the divorce rate in first-marriages has stabilized after years of increase in North America, the divorce rate of remarriages continues to increase. It has been suggested that increased divorce rates in remarriages may be attributable to higher levels of conflict in stepfamilies (e.g., Hobart, 1991). Drawing from family systems theory and contextual models of divorce, this study tested the hypotheses that tension levels in stepfamily dyads will predict divorce above and beyond the effects of marital quality alone and that increasing emotional and marital distress will be mechanisms through which the stepfamily system affects marital stability. Data were collected from 112 couples who were followed for 20 years. Logistic regression analyses tested main and interaction effects of marital quality and (step)parent-child tension levels on divorce probability. Depression and marital quality were also tested as mediators and moderators of the effects of stepfamily relationship quality on divorce. Results confirmed that marital quality is an important predictor of divorce in stepfamilies, as it is in first-marriages. However, results also revealed that stepparent-child tension moderates the effect of marital quality on divorce. Depression mediated the effects of marital quality on divorce for wives, but not husbands. The importance of using a contextual approach for stepfamily research and clinical interventions is discussed.

Didattica multicanale integrata:  il fumetto parlante. Un’esperienza di scrittura creativa collaborativa in un corso di italiano L2
Creators: name: Santalucia, Diego
Publisher: name: Italiano LinguaDue
Year: 2013

description: L’articolo, nella premessa, parte da riferimenti a S. Papert e al costruzionismo, per focalizzarsi poi su alcuni aspetti dell’ultimo lavoro di A.Pian che, con l’ elaborazione del concetto di didattica multicanale integrata, indica una prospettiva ulteriore per l’integrazione di strumenti tecnologici nei processi di insegnamento/apprendimento.
Nella fase seguente questo lavoro illustra un esperimento di scrittura creativa collaborativa in un corso di Italiano L2 blended, effettuato attraverso un sistema wiki e la successiva elaborazione integrata di testo, immagini e narrazione orale in un “fumetto parlante”. Uno degli obiettivi fondamentali del progetto è stato quello di valutare se, e in quale modo, il percorso effettuato in un ambiente online potesse favorire lo sviluppo della competenza comunicativa da parte dei corsisti, insieme a quello di analizzare i codici linguistici attivati nell’interazione. Non ultimo, l’obiettivo di verificare la possibilità che i corsisti potessero sperimentare un percorso per la creazione di un oggetto didattico che possa dare anche “piacere estetico” nella fruizione.

Integrated multi-channel teaching: the cartoon speaker.
An experience in collaborative creative writing in an Italian L2 course

The article begins with references to S. Papert and constructionism, then focuses on certain aspects of the work of A. Pian, who elaborated the concept of integrated multi-channel learning, indicating a further perspective for the integration of technological tools in the teaching/learning process. An experiment in a blended Italian L2 collaborative creative writing course was carried out using a wiki system and the subsequent processing of the integrated text, images and storytelling into a “speech bubble”. A key objective of the project was to assess whether, and in what way, an online environment could favor the development of communicative competence on the part of the students, along with the analysis of the linguistic codes activated in the interaction. Last but not least, there was the objective to verify the possibility that the participants could create a learning object that would also give “aesthetic pleasure” when used.
