That was the most amusing and interesting thing to do this week. I really don't like to be pictured or photographed or videorecorded, but for my job I did sometimes. I have to say that it's a very useful thing to do and every teacher should have to do that. It helps me to realize which things I have well done and which things I haven't; when I should have been more determined and when I shouldn't; what I should improve in my teaching activities and what is good enough and so on ...

That's my weakness point: I really need to plan activities and excersises to do, because I would like doing a lot of things with my students but often time flies away. ..
With Learning designer I can check by visual charts (the pie charts) how my time is organized and which activity I dedicated more time to. Furthermore I can arrange all my lessons plan.

I'm always involved in:
1) starting from what the students already know about that topic
(they don't know Italian, but this doesn't mean they don't know anything!!)
2) using non-verbal language a lot
3) paying attention to keep motivation and affective level high and clear
4) making them working together, in pairs or in group of three

I teach Italian for foreigners too. I've been teaching it from 2002 when I took DITALS degree from university for foreigners of Siena. Italian coul be teached both as FL (foreign language) to people who live abroad and as L2 (second language) to people who already live in Italy. It makes that quite similar to the teaching of English, French, Spanish and German held in Italian schools.
