Every new language is a bridge, but how do we ensure that everyone has the right tools to cross it? In the 30th episode of Inclusioni, we explore inclusive glottodidactics—a language teaching approach that adapts its methods to everyone’s needs, eliminating barriers related to SLDs (Specific Learning Difficulties), disabilities, or cultural differences.
To do this, we’ll talk about inclusion in language teaching and learning, valuing diversity, and—above all—the drive to make language study a truly accessible space. Joined by three expert voices from the University of Verona, we’ll analyze how scientific research meets classroom practice to break down communication barriers. This insightful discussion brings together instructors of English, such as Prof. Sharon Hartle from the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures, and scholars who study broader aspects of language teaching and learning, such as Profs. Serena Dal Maso and Maria Vender from the Department of Cultures and Civilizations at the University of Verona.
Together, we’ll discover how to transform that bridge into an open road for everyone—because a truly inclusive classroom isn’t just a research goal, but the first step toward leaving no one behind.
Enjoy the episode!
