Focus on form e motivazione nella classe di livello avanzato Esplicitazione del focus on form e contatto con la realtà fuori dalla classe. Un modello di attività didattica

Research on motivation in recent years has focused more and more on teaching practice and techniques used during the language class. The work presents a didactic activity model that allows to positively affect on the motivation of advanced level learners, both as a factor of the underlying psychological motivation that can guide this type of learner, and as a motivational strategy, i.e. as a didactic technique that allows to stimulate and support motivation during various moments of the language class. In the model of didactic activity two aspects are combined: a) attention to the formal aspects of the language, in particular the set of didactic strategies indicated as a whole as focus on form ; b) development of a learning path which ends with an experience of contact with native speakers in an authentic context.
