School has always been a place of learning and a privileged environment for socialization. Nowadays, in an increasingly intercultural context, teachers are working more and more with children from highly diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds. In this landscape, language difficulties can present a significant obstacle to the learning and inclusion of these pupils, both within and beyond the school environment. This study examines the various educational practices and challenges that Spanish and Italian teachers face when working with foreign students. Specifically, it focuses on a Catalan school in the city of Lleida and a primary and early childhood school in the province of Padua. The research was conducted in two distinct phases and employed a range of methodologies. Initially, systematic observation and informal interviews were carried out with 3 Catalan and 6 Italian teachers. The observation was followed by the completion of a questionnaire by the teachers, which aimed to investigate various aspects, including their ways of relating to foreign pupils and dialoguing with their families. The analysis of the data shows that the considered teachers are aware of the difficulties faced by foreign pupils, although not all agree on the linguistic aspect that creates the most challenges for them. Additionally, there is a relational difficulty with families linked to the linguistic aspect, although we recognize their high comparative value. Despite the challenges, it is important to acknowledge the great enrichment that these pupils can offer their peers.
La scuola è da sempre un luogo di apprendimento e uno spazio privilegiato di socializzazione. Oggigiorno, nella nuova realtà interculturale, le insegnanti si ritrovano a lavorare sempre più spesso con bambini provenienti da contesti linguistici e culturali molto diversi tra loro. In questo panorama, le difficoltà linguistiche possono risultare un ostacolo all’apprendimento e all’inclusione di questi alunni, sia all’interno che all’esterno dell’ambiente scolastico. Questo lavoro analizza le diverse pratiche educative e le difficoltà che le insegnanti spagnole e italiane riscontrano nel rapportarsi con alunni stranieri. In particolare, l’analisi svolta prende in considerazione un istituto catalano nella città di Lleida e una scuola primaria e dell’infanzia in provincia di Padova. La ricerca si è sviluppata in due momenti distinti e ha fatto uso di diverse metodologie. In un primo momento si è fatto uso di un’osservazione sistematica e di colloqui informali con 3 insegnanti catalane e 6 italiane. All’osservazione è seguita la compilazione da parte delle docenti di un questionario che si propone d’indagare diversi aspetti, tra i quali il loro modo di relazionarsi con gli alunni stranieri e il dialogo con le relative famiglie. Dall’analisi dei dati emerge che gli insegnanti presi in considerazione sono consapevoli delle difficoltà incontrate dagli alunni stranieri, sebbene non tutti concordino relativamente all’aspetto linguistico che maggiormente crea loro difficoltà. Inoltre, viene rilevata una difficoltà relazionale con le famiglie legata all’aspetto linguistico, pur riconoscendone l’elevato valore di confronto. Nonostante le difficoltà, è importante riconoscere il grande valore di arricchimento che questi alunni possono offrire ai compagni.

Abstract
School has always been a place of learning and a privileged environment for socialization. Nowadays, in an increasingly intercultural context, teachers are working more and more with children from highly diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds. In this landscape, language difficulties can present a significant obstacle to the learning and inclusion of these pupils, both within and beyond the school environment. This study examines the various educational practices and challenges that Spanish and Italian teachers face when working with foreign students. Specifically, it focuses on a Catalan school in the city of Lleida and a primary and early childhood school in the province of Padua. The research was conducted in two distinct phases and employed a range of methodologies. Initially, systematic observation and informal interviews were carried out with 3 Catalan and 6 Italian teachers. The observation was followed by the completion of a questionnaire by the teachers, which aimed to investigate various aspects, including their ways of relating to foreign pupils and dialoguing with their families. The analysis of the data shows that the considered teachers are aware of the difficulties faced by foreign pupils, although not all agree on the linguistic aspect that creates the most challenges for them. Additionally, there is a relational difficulty with families linked to the linguistic aspect, although we recognize their high comparative value. Despite the challenges, it is important to acknowledge the great enrichment that these pupils can offer their peers.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
