Abstract

The acquisition of Italian as a variable language, promoted by theoretical studies for some time now and reiterated in the latest "Indicazioni" and "Linee Guida", struggles to establish itself in actual school practice. Therefore, it seems necessary to develop new models in order to encourage linguistic competence based on the concept of variation and provide teachers with methods, theoretical backgrounds, content and concrete educational proposals. This paper aims to illustrate the potential of non-literary texts in schools and proposes some work paths, also based on our personal experiences. Bottom-up production, recently the subject of theoretical thoughts at the historical and socio-linguistic level, have several advantages linked to methodology, content and contexts that open up the possibility for cross-disciplinary courses. We present and discuss some cases that allow us to focus on the elements of strength and the real impact of such texts in teaching Italian.
