IMPARARE L’ITALIANO L2/LS CON TESTI TEATRALI
Creators: name: Ardissino, Erminia
Publisher: name: Italiano LinguaDue
Year: 2010

description: Il saggio tratta dell'impiego di testi teatrali come fonti di esercizi per l'apprendimento dell'italiano L2/LS. Dopo alcune riflessioni teoriche, si presentano sei proposte di lavoro, con relative soluzioni, adatte a studenti del livello B2-C2 del quadro di riferimento. Si tratta di esercizi ricavati da drammi in un unico atto di Pirandello (La morsa e Lumìe di Sicilia), da Verga (un confronto fra Cavalleria rusticana nella forma drammatica e novellistica), e da Tommaso Landolfi (Ombre). Ogni proposta sfrutta una peculiarità del testo teatrale che si costituisce nell'incontro di dialoghi con didascalie. Anzitutto si tratta di comprendere come si costruiscono i personaggi, quindi di vedere la funzione delle didascalie in relazione al testo, infine di riflettere sulle diverse modalità in cui avvengono i dialoghi, includendo le forme di silenzio. Il testo teatrale appare così molto adatto ad esercizi di lingua, perché mette in gioco le capacità interpretative e immaginative degli studenti, li fa discutere e parlare sulla base delle loro intuizioni.   This paper investigates the use of play scripts as inspiration for Italian L2/FL exercises. After a brief discussion on theory, six project proposals and their solutions, suitable for B2-C2 level students, are presented.  These exercises are based on one-act plays by Pirandello (La Morsa and Lumìe di Sicilia), Verga (a comparison between Cavalleria Rusticana in drama and narrative forms) and Tommaso Landolfi (Ombre).  Each project focuses on a specific aspect of the script  and is made up of dialogues with captions. After the way the characters are constructed is investigated, then the function of the captions in relation to the texts is considered, and finally students reflect on the different ways the dialogues are presented, including the pauses. Play scripts lend themselves to language exercises, because they encourage students to use their interpretation skills and imaginations to talk about their intuitions and ideas.

description: The effects of microwave (MW) pretreatment were investigated by six anaerobic digesters operated under thermophilic and mesophilic conditions at high organic loading rates (4.9–5.7 g volatile solids/L/d). The experiments and analyses were mainly designed to reveal the impact of MW pretreatment and digester temperatures on the process stability and microbial community structure by correlating the composition of microbial populations with volatile fatty acid (VFA) concentrations. A slight shift from biogas production (with a reasonable methane content) to VFA accumulation was observed in the thermophilic digesters, especially in the MW-irradiated reactors. Microbial population structure was assessed using a high-throughput sequencing of 16S rRNA gene on the MiSeq platform. Microbial community structure was slightly affected by different MW pretreatment conditions, while substantially affected by the digester temperature. The phylum Bacteroidetes proliferated in the MW-irradiated mesophilic digesters by resisting high-temperature MW (at 160 °C). Hydrogenotrophic methanogenesis (mostly the genus of Methanothermobacter) was found to be a key route of methane production in the thermophilic digesters, whereas aceticlastic methanogenesis (mostly the genus of Methanosaeta) was the main pathway in the mesophilic digesters.
Moving images and the real: the responsibilities of technology in expressing filmic reality
Creators: name: Verdon, James
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This research considered successive transitions between imaging technologies that render screen based moving images and interrogated how these images represent reality. Despite numerous media histories that document relationships between moving images and reality, the vital enquiry into the modulation of this relationship by distinctive technologies was not yet fully explored. My research found that analog electronic images are typically and erroneously considered to be continuous, set against the discrete nature of digital images. The often-cited analog/digital divide aligns analog video and television with the medium of film. Materially however, analog electronic reproduction is nothing like cinematographic representation. These findings substantially recast media histories describing the ontology of moving images.

description: This study investigated the value of an innovative leadership development program for emerging academic leaders of learning and teaching and their university. The program, called the Expansive Learning Leadership Initiative (ELLI), was designed as a formative intervention. The pedagogical design was based on Expansive Learning and used two significant mediating tools: leadership laboratories, which were framed around collaborative professional learning conversations, and participants' projects, which were themselves formative interventions that engaged participants in leading an educational innovation. The ELLI was conducted over 10 months and the participants were 15 academics identified as emerging leaders and two facilitators, one of whom was also the researcher. Data were collected throughout the program from four sources: small group interviews, video recordings from each of five leadership laboratories conducted with the participants and participants' final presentation at the university's Senior Staff Forum, a series of artifacts generated at the leadership laboratories and critical reflections by the researcher constructed after interactions with participants. Data were analysed using three distinct methods: thematic analysis, the D-Analysis protocol and the expansive learning cycle.

description: Data Distribution Management (DDM) deals with two basic problems: how to distribute data generated at the application layer among underlying nodes in a distributed system and how to retrieve data back whenever it is necessary. This thesis explores DDM in two different network environments: peer-to-peer (P2P) overlay networks and cluster-based network environments. DDM in P2P overlay networks is considered a more complete concept of building and maintaining a P2P overlay architecture than a simple data fetching scheme, and is closely related to the more commonly known associative searching or queries. DDM in the cluster-based network environment is one of the important services provided by the simulation middle-ware to support real-time distributed interactive simulations. The only common feature shared by DDM in both environments is that they are all built to provide data indexing service. Because of these fundamental differences, we have designed and developed a novel distributed data structure, Hierarchically Distributed Tree (HD Tree), to support range queries in P2P overlay networks. All the relevant problems of a distributed data structure, including the scalability, self-organizing, fault-tolerance, and load balancing have been studied. Both theoretical analysis and experimental results show that the HD Tree is able to give a complete view of system states when processing multi-dimensional range queries at different levels of selectivity and in various error-prone routing environments. On the other hand, a novel DDM scheme, Adaptive Grid-based DDM scheme, is proposed to improve the DDM performance in the cluster-based network environment. This new DDM scheme evaluates the input size of a simulation based on probability models. The optimum DDM performance is best approached by adapting the simulation running in a mode that is most appropriate to the size of the simulation.
VIDEOGIOCHI E ITALIANO L2/LS

description: L'articolo prende in considerazione alcune ipotesi sull'uso del videogioco nell'insegnamento/apprendimento della lingua straniera supportate dall'analisi di alcuni videogames per uso didattico. Pur non nascondendo le difficoltà che l'insegnante può incontrare nell'integrare il videogioco nel percorso di insegnamento/apprendimento di una lingua straniera in classe, diversi sono i motivi per i quali il videogioco può essere considerato un efficace strumento di apprendimento linguistico. Innanzitutto perché gli input linguistici possono essere numerosi e vari, in secondo luogo perché è vettore di lingua che coinvolge i diversi sensi e diverse operazioni cognitive e, in terzo luogo perché trasforma il processo dell'apprendimento da simbolico a esperienziale. Infine perché si tratta di un mezzo divertente capace di creare interesse ad apprendere offrendo opportunità straordinarie in quanto attiva negli apprendenti, soprattutto più giovani, due fattori chiave per un apprendimento solido e duraturo: l'esperienza e la motivazione, elementi che spesso le metodologie tradizionali trascurano. A conclusione dell'articolo viene proposta di attività didattica di italiano LS con una serie di suggerimenti per l'insegnante.   This article discusses the use of videogames in teaching/learning a foreign language and analyzes a few didactic videogames. While not underestimating the difficulties that teachers may have in integrating videogames in the teaching/learning process in a classroom, there are different reasons why videogames can be considered effective tools for language learning. First of all, the linguistic input is varied and rich, and secondly it is a way of engaging different senses and cognitive processes, and in the third place it transforms learning from something symbolic to something experiential. Finally, it is an amusing way to generate interest in learning by offering an extraordinary opportunity, since it activates two key aspects for solid and long-lasting learning, especially in younger students: experience and motivation.  These aspects are often overlooked in more traditional methods. The article concludes with examples of didactic activities for Italian FL teaching and a series of suggestions for the teacher.

description: Malaria is a formidable infectious disease, killing almost one child every minute. To improve the diagnostic capacity of malaria endemic nations, this project investigated both the utility of current malaria diagnostics, as well as the development of sensitive, low-resource new diagnostic technologies. Firstly, the current effectiveness of malaria field diagnostics in the Solomon Islands was investigated, to identify if rapid diagnostic tests should become the primary field diagnostic over microscopy for detecting malaria. Analysis demonstrated the effectiveness of RDTs was greater than microscopy for the detection of both P. vivax and P. falciparum malaria within the Solomon Islands. This not only supports the predominant use of RDTs nationwide for detecting malaria, but it also highlights the potential degradation of microscopy’s diagnostic ability from laboratory to field and illustrates the need for improved field diagnostics. Secondly, this project evaluated two molecular diagnostic tests for P. falciparum (Pf) and P. vivax (Pv). Both the Rapid Pf test and Rapid Pv test demonstrated potential for improving malaria field diagnostics. Evaluation of the Rapid Pf test using clinical samples from infected volunteers demonstrated detection down to 49 parasites/μL with 100% sensitivity and 100% specificity (n=170) in just 20 minutes. Meanwhile, the Rapid Pv test, which used plasmid and a single clinical sample for analysis, also successfully detected P. vivax infections down to 50 parasites/μL. Further optimization for clinical and field testing in a low resource setting could enable these tests to be used as new tools for malaria elimination. Overall, this project demonstrated that for immediate diagnostic improvements, reliance on malaria RDTs has the potential for increasing diagnostic positivity rates and reducing potential missed infections. In addition, development of more sensitive rapid field tests could ultimately improve global malaria elimination strategies, further assisting in the fight against malaria.
Role of PAX2 in Maintaining the Differentiation of Oviductal Epithelium and Inhibiting the Transition to a Stem Cell State

description: Several studies have proposed the fallopian tube epithelium as a site of origin of ovarian cancer. The discovery of precursor lesions in the fallopian tube in patients at risk for ovarian cancer supports a probable origin for high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma in this tissue. While the fallopian tube epithelium consists of three distinct cell types, the paired box protein 2 (PAX2) positive cells and potentially the CD44 positive stem-like cells are most relevant to ovarian cancer. Loss of PAX2 expression in the fallopian tube cells is considered to be an early event in epithelial transformation, but the specific role of PAX2 in this transition is unknown. The aim of this study was to define the role of PAX2 in oviductal epithelial cells (OVE) cells and in mouse ovarian surface epithelial cells (MOSE), and to understand its contribution to the formation of serous precursor lesions in the fallopian tubes. Herein, we studied the OVE response to transforming growth factor β (TGFβ, a cytokine found in follicular fluid) and provide evidence of its potential involvement in the regulation of stem cell-like behaviors that may contribute to formation of cancer-initiating cells. Treatment of primary cultures of OVE cells with TGFβ at concentrations found in ovulatory follicular fluid induced an epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) with expected changes in proliferation, cell morphology and expression of SNAIL, Vimentin and E-cadherin. EMT was also associated with decreased expression of PAX2 and an increase in the fraction of cells expressing CD44. Pax2 knockdown in OVE cells and overexpression in ovarian epithelial cells confirmed that PAX2 inhibits CD44 expression and regulates the degree of epithelial differentiation of OVE cells. These results suggest that the loss of PAX2 seen in serous tubal intraepithelial carcinomas (STIC) leads to a shift to a more mesenchymal phenotype associated with stem-like features. Pax2 overexpression in MOSE cells also induced the formation of vascular channels both in vitro and in vivo, which indicate a possible contribution of PAX2 to ovarian cancer progression by increasing the vascular channels to supply nutrients to the tumor cells. Furthermore, since loss of PAX2 in STIC was found associated with P53 and BRCA1 mutations, OVE cells with mutations of the tumor suppressor genes Trp53 and Brca1 were studied. We found that loss of Trp53 with or without loss of Brca1 increased cell proliferation and colony formation in vitro. In addition, loss of Trp53 induced OVE cells to undergo EMT and induced the expression of stem cell–associated genes. We therefore suggest a potential contribution of stem cells in initiating the precursor lesions in the fallopian tubes in combination with tumor suppressor gene mutation.

description: Nell'ambito della promozione linguistica l'Accademia della Crusca ha da sempre cercato di porsi in modo innovativo e di lavorare su più fronti, avvalendosi di diversi strumenti. Negli ultimi anni ha aperto un sito internet per favorire la conoscenza storica della lingua italiana, per farla amare sempre di più e per aiutare, in particolare i giovani, a scrivere e parlare con proprietà.  Con l'informatizzazione, l'Accademia ha scelto di mettersi in gioco e di farsi conoscere dal grande pubblico: si è rinnovata, ha abbracciato nuove ricerche e affrontato grandi rivoluzioni legate ai cambiamenti della società. Da diversi anni si è schierata in prima linea anche sui temi del multilinguismo e del ruolo dell'italiano dentro e fuori l'Italia, argomenti che per gli Accademici sono diventati prioritari. La Presidente dell'Accademia della Crusca, Professoressa Nicoletta Maraschio, nell'intervista che ci ha rilasciato, parla di temi fondamentali come quello della coscienza linguistica, del plurilinguismo e delle motivazioni che spingono gli stranieri a scegliere l'italiano come lingua seconda.   The Accademia della Crusca has always tried to promote languages in an innovative way and works from different angles, using different tools. Over the past years it has started up an internet site to encourage the historic knowledge about Italian language, foster appreciation for it and help younger people write and speak properly.  Thanks to computers, the Accademia has chosen to present itself to a larger audience: it has been redesigned, and embraced new studies and faced great changes tied to changes in society. Over the past few years it has been in the front line regarding multilingualism and the role of Italian within and outside Italy, the most important themes for the Academy members. In the interview, Professoressa Nicoletta Maraschio, the President of the Accademia della Crusca, talks about themes like the language awareness, plurilingualism and motivations foreigners have in choosing Italian as a second language.

Just as the iPhone muscled in and usurped a device so popular it was dubbed the Crackberry, another player---Samsung in combination with Google/Android operating system---might take down the Apple offering. For every tech company or innovation on the way up, another market leader seems destined for irrelevance.

description: By means of a creative artefact and exegesis this Doctorate of Creative Arts (Creative Writing) explores a young mother's response to the death of a town through a collection of cross genre material (the creative artefact) entitled 'Gone Home'. This creative artefact contains over forty diary entries in haibun form, more than thirty poems, numerous letters, lists, newspaper clippings, and four oral history transcripts. A number of the haibun have been published in literary journals and twenty of the poems are to be published by Ginninderra Press early in 2015. The haibun explore the day to day experiences of a young mother who comes to live in a mining town soon to be dug up for coal. The poems are lyric reflections by the same woman, thirty five years later, on that traumatic time for her and her community. The letters, lists and newspaper articles work to link the various literary components of the artefact, as well as provide factual information about the circumstances of the life and death of this town, a fictional construct of Yallourn, Victoria. The oral history transcripts contribute to the wider narrative and subtext of displacement of an entire community when a town is destroyed. The representation of Neatheton/Yallourn is based on my own memories of Yallourn in 1978 and research into the history of Yallourn in primary and secondary sources. The accompanying exegesis explores a path to writing haibun in English (in which the creative artefact is embedded), examines the evolution of haibun, from its origins in seventeenth century Japan, through its first manifestations in English in the mid twentieth century, to the status and nature of English Language haibun as a contemporary literary form. Following a practice-led research/research-led practice methodology I track my own haibun journey, learning from the exemplary text of Matsuo Basho, Oku no hosomichi (The Narrow Road to the Deep North), as well as close studies of English Language haibun collections by US and UK writers, and Australia's Janice M. Bostok. I constantly revise my haibun drafts, analysing and refining them as I write the creative artefact. The final form for the diary entries of the young mother is a product of my research journey, and its exegetical record I believe contributes to the contemporary discourse of the future directions of English Language haibun.

description: L'Irlanda è recentemente divenuta un paese di immigrazione. Se la presenza di immigrati italiani non è significativa lo studio dell'italiano LS è invece discretamente diffuso, sebbene non ai livelli ben  maggiori del francese, del tedesco e dello spagnolo. L'articolo presenta un'analisi quantitativa dell'offerta e dello studio dell'italiano LS nelle scuole e nelle università irlandesi. L'analisi è stata condotta raccogliendo dati  da fonti istituzionali,  da siti internet, da materiale cartaceo, ma si fonda anche su esperienze dirette di insegnamento dell'italiano in Irlanda da parte dell'autore. Il risultato è il computo numerico degli studenti che studiano l'italiano come LS nelle scuole superiori e dell'offerta didattica delle maggiori università irlandesi e in particolare della National University of Ireland di Galway di cui si presentano i diversi corsi di lingua e di cultura italiana.    Ireland has recently attracted more and more immigration. Even if there are not many Italian immigrants living in Ireland, the study of Italian as a foreign language is quite wide-spread, although not quite as popular as French, German and Spanish. This paper is a quantitative analysis of the study of Italian as a foreign language in Irish schools and universities. The survey was carried out using data from institutional sources, internet sites, printed materials as well as the author's personal experience teaching Italian in Ireland. The results illustrate the number of students studying Italian as a foreign language in high schools and the courses offered in the main Irish universities, in particular at the National University of Ireland in Galway, which offers numerous courses on Italian language and culture.

description: Gli studi sull'italiano in rete hanno visto una particolare attenzione rivolta alle caratteristiche grafiche e di riproduzione del parlato nel linguaggio di chat, e-mail e blog, riservando tuttavia una limitata considerazione per la variazione diafasica in rete e, nello specifico, per le varietà formali della lingua. Il contributo presenta le finalità del progetto VALERE (Varietà Alte di Lingue Europee in REte) ed i corpora di newsgroups utilizzati al suo interno. Dopo l'analisi delle peculiarità linguistiche dei registri alti in italiano, si propone una ricaduta glottodidattica che tenga conto delle varietà diafasiche e della lacuna sinora lamentata in merito nella manualistica per l'insegnamento dell'italiano L2/LS a studenti della scuola secondaria o in ambiente universitario.   Studying Italian online has especially regarded the graphic characteristics and the reproduction of spoken language in chats, emails and blogs, while also dedicating attention to diphasic online diversity, especially regarding the formal varieties of the language.  This paper presents the aims of the VALERE (Varietà Alte di Lingue Europee in REte) project and the corpora of online news groups. After analyzing the linguistic peculariaties of high registers in Italian, a glottodidactic relapse has been proposed which considers the diphasic diversities and the complained-about lack of textbooks for teaching Italian L2/FL to secondary school or university students.

Climate change is already being experienced in the Pacific Islands Region with implications for food security, particularly among non-urban Indigenous populations. These changes are expected to continue and, in many instances, worsen in the future with further effects on food security. The relationship between food security, peripherality (distance to a regional centre) and climate change, however, remains poorly understood.

This relationship is empirically tested in three villages in Viti Levu, Fiji that are located at different distances to a regional centre to document how social and ecological changes are affecting the dual food system (subsistence and imported) and what role, if any, does peripherality play in food security. The research is distinct from other food security research in the Pacific Island Countries (PIC) in that it considers climate change in the context of other social and ecological factors that influence food security and does so at a household scale.

description: L'attitudine e gli atteggiamenti sono due fattori di differenza individuale che più incidono sui processi e sugli esiti dell'apprendimento linguistico e interculturale. Gli usi di questi termini non sono esenti da ambiguità, per cui è utile, da una parte, mettere a fuoco le differenze concettuali (attitudine come talento o predisposizione personale che facilita l'apprendimento; atteggiamenti come convinzioni personali fornite di valore) e, dall'altra, chiarire come questi fattori si rapportino nel determinare la percezione individuale delle proprie capacità. Questa interrelazione ha importanti conseguenze sia in termini di una necessaria flessibilità metodologica e curricolare, sia in termini delle prassi didattiche conseguenti.   Aptitude and attitudes are among the individual differences which most affect both the process and the outcome of language and intercultural learning. Since their use is often tinged with ambiguity, it is useful, on the one hand, to highlight the differences between the two concepts (focusing on aptitude as a facilitating talent or personal disposition, and on attitudes as valued beliefs), and, on the other hand, to explore how these factors can impact on the individual's perception of her/his own ability. The relationship between the two concepts has important implications both in terms of methodological and curricular flexibility and in terms of relevant teaching practice.

description: Blood pressure is one of the crucial vital signs that still lacks measurement accuracy in clinical environments. It is reported by physicians that automated non-invasive blood pressure measurement devices, which are usually based on the oscillometric method, do not provide accurate estimation of blood pressure. This problem has been addressed in this work by incorporating arterial stiffness in blood pressure measurement. Pulse transit time is first used to estimate arterial stiffness parameters. Afterwards, these parameters are fixed into a model of the oscillometric envelope which can then be used to curve fit measured data using only four free parameters: systolic, diastolic, mean blood pressure and minimum lumen area. The proposed individualized technique is independent of any experimentally determined ratio, commonly used in existing oscillometric methods. The accuracy of the proposed technique is evaluated by comparing with (1) the same model without incorporation of arterial stiffness (i.e. a purely oscillometric technique), and (2) Omron device measurements. The results are promising and meet the criteria recommended by the ANSI/AAMI SP - 10 standard for non-invasive blood pressure measurement techniques.
The Impact of Acute Ingestion of a Ketone Monoester Drink on LPS-Stimulated NLRP3 Activation in Humans with Obesity

description: Activation of the NOD-like receptor pyrin-domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is associated with chronic low-grade inflammation in metabolic diseases such as obesity. Mechanistic studies have shown that β-hydroxybutyrate (OHB) attenuates activation of NLRP3, but human data are limited. In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial (n = 11) we tested the hypothesis that acutely raising β-OHB by ingestion of exogenous ketones would attenuate NLRP3 activation in humans with obesity. Blood was sampled before and 30 min post-ingestion of a ketone monoester drink ((R)-3-hydroxybutyl (R)-3-hydroxybutyrate, 482 mg/kg body mass) or placebo. A 75 g oral glucose load was then ingested, and a third blood sample was obtained 60 min following glucose ingestion. NLRP3 activation was quantified by assessing monocyte caspase-1 activation and interleukin (IL)-1β secretion in ex vivo lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated whole-blood cultures. LPS-stimulated caspase-1 activation increased following glucose ingestion (main effect of time; p = 0.032), with no differences between conditions. IL-1β secretion did not differ between conditions but was lower 60 min post-glucose ingestion compared to the fasting baseline (main effect of time, p = 0.014). Plasma IL-1β was detectable in ~80% of samples and showed a decrease from fasting baseline to 60 min in the ketone condition only (condition × time interaction, p = 0.01). In individuals with obesity, an excursion into hyperglycemia following ingestion of a glucose load augments LPS-induced activation of caspase-1 in monocytes with no apparent impact of raising circulating β-OHB concentration via ingestion of exogenous ketones. Exogenous ketone supplementation may impact plasma IL-1β, but these findings require confirmation in studies with larger sample sizes.

Structural identification of unintelligible documents.

Subjects: subject: Computer Science.

description: This thesis is about the identification of unintelligible documents using machine learning techniques. An unintelligible document is a document that is not necessarily expressed in a natural language. We have developed a three level approach including: the representation of a base alphabet, the textual feature extraction and the induction of classification models using machine learning techniques. For the representation of the base alphabet, we have introduced a clustering technique that reduces the size of the alphabet and increases the density of the training documents. For the textual feature extraction, we present four techniques adapted for unintelligible documents. Among the presented feature extraction techniques, we have developed two techniques based on the data compression concept. We have explored two approaches to accomplish the induction of an identification model: a rule-based system called RIPPER and an approach based on grammatical inference. In order to combine different complementary techniques, we have developed an object-oriented framework that encourages code reuse. The presented techniques have been tested in an experiment on three different domains: the identification of e-mail documents, the identification of BASE64 encoded documents and the identification of GIF images versus BMP images.

description: Being ‘woman’ in the new millennium is a fraught position. When women’s legal rights of bodily autonomy are being challenged globally, androcentrism remains the cultural norm, and algorithmic culture arguably enables misogyny, the forms through which women (re)present themselves is critical. The #MeToo movement illuminated how the media industry enables gendered abuse as an acceptable, even expected, aspect of creativity; the effects of which continue to ripple into other areas of cultural awareness. Globally, the prevalence of online gendered abuse, transphobia, systemic racism, and institutionalised inequity are being met with resistance, as marginalised people mobilise to effect change. Contemporary Western society is at a juncture.
LINGUA(E) DELLE ALTRE DISCIPLINE

description: La lingua e le altre modalità di comunicazione svolgono un ruolo essenziale nell'apprendimento delle discipline scolastiche oltre che in quello della lingua in quanto materia di studio. Nello studio delle diverse discipline curricolari gli apprendenti sono chiamati a mettere in atto una serie di competenze che sono parte integrante dell'apprendimento. È necessario dunque che queste competenze siano loro insegnate nella stessa misura in cui  viene loro richiesto di metterle in atto negli apprendimenti disciplinari, se si vuole che essi apprendano con successo. Le competenze comunicative che si acquisiscono attraverso l'esperienza quotidiana non sono sufficienti e la lingua "accademica" propria delle diverse discipline deve essere insegnata e appresa in modo consapevole. Altre competenze semiotiche sono ugualmente necessarie, come ad esempio la capacità di comprendere e usare grafici, tabelle, rappresentazioni di dati statistici, ecc. poiché questi altri modi di comunicare e di rappresentare i contenuti disciplinari sono usati nell'insegnamento di una specifica materia. Un aiuto particolare deve essere dato agli allievi con difficoltà di apprendimento o che non ricevono dal loro ambiente il sostegno necessario per acquisire le più usuali competenze linguistiche e ancor meno  quelle, più formali e "accademiche", necessarie ad apprendere le discipline di studio. Il fatto che le competenze sottese agli apprendimenti delle diverse discipline debbano essere oggetto di un insegnamento esplicito  da parte di tutti gli insegnanti, e non solo di quello di lingua, ha importanti riflessi nella costruzione dei curricola scolatici e nei metodi di insegnamento e in particolare richiedono che gli insegnanti cooperino tra loro condividendo una visione olistica dell'apprendimento della lingua e dei linguaggi disciplinari.   Language and other modes of communication are crucial to learning in subjects in schooling other than Language as Subject. There are many implicit expectations of learners in other subjects with respect to their communicative competences and these competences are an integral part of learning. Learners are thus entitled to be taught the required competences and equally, the expectations that they can use such competences put on learners in other subjects are justified if they are to be successful in learning. The language needed is more than the ordinary communicative skills developed in everyday life and academic language has to be taught and learnt deliberately. Other semiotic competences are also required as subjects are taught with the help of for example graphs or statistical tables. Some groups of learners need particular help because they do not have in their environment the support needed to acquire ordinary language competence and even less, academic language of schooling. There are implications for curriculum policy and design and for teaching methods which include cooperation and a holistic view of language learning in schools.
