In recent years the teaching of Italian L2 has made many progress, both in didactic terms and in terms of places and contexts where it takes place: from compulsory school, to CPIA, to voluntary schools, to language training delivered in the reception circuit, up to the digital space.
It is not easy to recount this evolution, to which many people and circumstances have contributed, and it is even less easy to imagine what perspectives are opening up on the future. With the interviews that we collect in this section, however, we try to photograph the current moment, trying to collect and give readers a set of authoritative points of view.
