In the last few years, Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) has been extensively implemented in the Italian school system and particularly in the Autonomous Province of Trento. This article aims to analyse students’ perception of the quality of their CLIL experience since they are the final recipients of CLIL. Results suggest that students acknowledge the positive impact of CLIL on their L2 proficiency (English). However, the success of CLIL seems to be strongly dependent on the CLIL teacher’s linguistic competence in the L2 and on the CLIL curriculum design, which should avoid oversimplification of the subject matter taught by means of the L2.

This article analyses the Italian school system vis-à-vis other European systems from an objective perspective; the paper seeks to do this by elucidating some of its opaque aspects. It engages with an idea of cultural identity and what can be identified as the most obvious threats posed to it; Italy’s Gestalt at present is coterminous with that of the extant European educational framework, which formerly Italians themselves worked hard to bring about. Hence, raising awareness as to the modality that our country’s laws and agreements impact all aspects of our society becomes a main educational concern in this field of study.

The study investigates the extent and characteristics of the phenomenon of Child Language Brokering (CLB) in the Italian school system, namely the linguistic mediation of foreign students for their relatives and the institutions of the host country. A questionnaire administrated to 347 students of 36 nationalities of two secondary high schools of Perugia, detected the characteristics of CLB, foreign students’ attitude towards their language and culture of origin and those of the host country, and their relationship with the mediation practices. After an introduction and an overview of the literature on CLB, paragraphs 3 and 4 describe the materials and methods used and the results obtained. Finally, conclusions concern the enhancement of CLB in an inclusive perspective.

The paper first describes the main features of the project for vocational and educational guidance the author recently planned. The main aim of the project was to help students develop self guidance skills and overcome the difficulties they meet at school. The information system used in the project was based on the use of action research and social statistic strategies and calculations for the analysis of individual and population features. The paper then analyzes two recent events: a) the investigation the author carried out together with some teachers in Italian High Schools (Liceos) on an educational guidance action, and b) the elements of innovation introduced in the Italian School system by a recent Reform Law. Last, after a re-consideration of the initial project, the features of a new information system, to be used both for assessment and guidance (i.e., it includes an e-portfolio for skills and guidance), and the role that informing science can play in helping teachers, students and families are reported.

Binational relationships are affected by popular knowledge and stereotypes about the past of the other country. Germany and Italy especially look back on centuries of shared history. But what did Italians learn about Germany’s past at school, and how did their historical knowledge and judgements develop over time? Who had an infuence on textbooks and how did the vicissitudes of the 20th century change their subject matter? This study shows that Italian self-perception is deeply connected with well-known images of German history. It analyses the structure of knowledge presented in textbooks between the humanities and the mass media, and between memory culture, cognitive interest and propaganda. It gives an overview of popular ideas concerning German history in Italy and of the Italian school system and its curricula. This study can thus contribute to clearing up current misunderstandings between Germany and its neighbour.
