Giovanna Coccaro

I graduated in Modern Foreign Languages and Literature at the University of Bologna, I received a Master's in Language Sciences at the Stendhal University of Grenoble and a Ph.D. in "Italian Studies" at the Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand (supervisor: John Kinder). I obtained the Ditals II certification for teaching Italian to foreign students at the University for Foreigners of Siena.

I have taught in numerous Italian language courses for foreigners in Italy and abroad. My research interests have mainly focused on the analysis of the maintenance of Italian language and Italian dialects by Italian communities who emigrated overseas and the teaching of Italian L2 / LS using new technologies, in particular Learning Management System (LMS).
