Dania Di Gilio is a PhD candidate in Historical Linguistics, Educational Linguistics, and Italian Studies (Curriculum 1: Linguistics and Teaching of Italian as a Second Language) with a research project titled “The I level of adult education in Italian public schools (CPIA) and the didactics of Italian as a second language”. The project aims to investigate both how the transversal nature of the Italian language and the methodologies for teaching Italian to foreigners are taken into account in the disciplinary teaching of Level I (corresponding to lower secondary school and the first two years of upper secondary school) in Provincial Centers for Adult Education (CPIA), and how the Educational Institution supports its teachers in developing teaching competencies suitable for intervening effectively in the training process of the target audience (supervisor Prof. D. Troncarelli – Università per Stranieri di Siena, co-supervisor Prof. Giulia I. Grosso – Università di Cagliari).
