This thesis investigates the pedagogical potential of Cognitive Grammar (CG) in teaching Italian as a second language (L2) at the A2 proficiency level, operationalizing the theory through visual and embodied teaching tools. Drawing on an experimental study involving 34 students at the University for Foreigners of Perugia, the research demonstrates greater improvement than the traditional Presentation-Practice-Production (PPP) method in critical areas such as pronouns, psychological verbs, prepositions, and verb tenses. These results are achieved through an instructional approach grounded in form-meaning relationships.
Questa tesi indaga il potenziale pedagogico della Grammatica Cognitiva (CG) nell'insegnamento dell'italiano L2 a livello A2, operazionalizzando la teoria in strumenti didattici visivi ed embodied. Attraverso una sperimentazione su 34 studenti dell'Università per Stranieri di Perugia, lo studio evidenzia miglioramenti superiori rispetto al metodo tradizionale (PPP) in aree critiche come pronomi, verbi psicologici, preposizioni e tempi verbali, basandosi su relazioni forma-significato.

Abstract
This thesis investigates the pedagogical potential of Cognitive Grammar (CG) in teaching Italian as a second language (L2) at the A2 proficiency level, operationalizing the theory through visual and embodied teaching tools. Drawing on an experimental study involving 34 students at the University for Foreigners of Perugia, the research demonstrates greater improvement than the traditional Presentation-Practice-Production (PPP) method in critical areas such as pronouns, psychological verbs, prepositions, and verb tenses. These results are achieved through an instructional approach grounded in form-meaning relationships.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
