“Un approccio etico alla facilitazione dell’apprendimento linguistico”

Abstract

The author has been working for the last decade at the epistemological and philosophical nature of Language Teaching Research. In this essay he deals with the ethical dimension of LTR. The book is about hte procedures to make language learning easier for students, and this essay is the first of the book, a sort of keynote essay dealing with the topic from a philosophical point of view. The main thesis is that making language learning easier does not mean to solve singular problems when they arise, which feebles the student's attitude rather than teaching him or her how to face them, but it means easying the procedures enabling the student to face language learning problems, helping him or her to learn from difficulties in order to find it easier to overcome them later.
