Il contributo si inserisce nel campo delle glottotecnologie applicate all’apprendimento della lingua araba standard. Nello specifico la sperimentazione condotta si sviluppa a partire dalla teoria della direzionalità e della bimodalità fondata sull’emisfericità cerebrale che in glottodidattica ha condotto a una serie di accorgimenti metodologici come l’utilizzo di strategie induttive. Il contributo si focalizza sull’insegnamento della letto-scrittura dell’arabo come LS: partendo dalla presentazione dell’intera parola si passa alla scomposizione in unità fono-grafemiche che, una volta analizzate, sono ricombinate per la formazione di nuove parole. Il contributo propone un progetto didattico che, tramite l’utilizzo di glottotecnologie (running vocabulary list su classe virtuale Quizlet.com), stimola lo sviluppo delle abilità di ricezione e produzione scritte attraverso attività di lettura globale, lettura analitica e successivamente videoscrittura sin dalle primissime fasi dell’apprendimento linguistico. Nel contributo si presta particolare attenzione ai risvolti glottotecnologici del progetto didattico, attraverso l’uso Quizlet.com, sito che offre strumenti tecnologici al servizio delle lingue e permette di costruire flashcards accessibili su diversi dispositivi elettronici (computer, smartphone e tablet) e di facilitare la memorizzazione del lessico attraverso esercizi di manipolazione e la trascrizione di parole o brevi stringhe o attività ludiche.

Abstract

The present contribution places itself in the branch field of technologies applied to the Teaching of Arabic as a Foreign Language (TAFL). In specific the field test develops from the bimodality theory, espousing the principles of directionality and cerebral hemisphericity, which have led to a series of expedients in the field of language teaching, e.g. the use of inductive strategies. The contribution focuses on reading and writing skills in TAFL: first the entire word is presented, then it is broken up into single phono-graphemic units, which are finally combined again to build new words. Throughout the study a didactic project is briefly presented. By means of language technologies (namely running vocabulary lists creation on Quizlet.com virtual classes), the project stimulates receptive and productive activities development: global reading, analytic reading, and word processing, since the early phases of language learning. Particular attention is drawn to the use of language technologies in the aforementioned project, namely through the use of the website Quizlet.com. This last offers technological tools in the service of language learning, besides allowing the creation of flashcards, accessible through different electronic devices (i.e. computers, smartphones, and tablets) and facilitating vocabulary retention through transformation exercises, words copying, and playful activities.
