Dispositivi mobili per un’educazione linguistica inclusiva. App e italiano L2 per migranti

The contribution provides an overview of how mobile devices may be integrated into language education for migrants. The first paragraph focuses on the heterogeneity of the migrant population in Italy. In the following paragraph, we argue that Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL) may support the personalisation of learning and the hybridisation between classroom and extracurricular. Since the choice of the app may not be easy, we introduce, in the third paragraph, a reference framework for MALL, and we examine four mobile apps for Italian language. We conclude that mobile apps may support the linguistic inclusion and we try to envisage some areas of potential development for this field.
