The Week of the Italian Language in the World promotes Italian as a great language of classical and contemporary culture. Every year the diplomatic and cultural network of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation chooses a theme for this initiative and organizes a series of events in the third week of October. In 2015, Under the High Patronage of the President of the Republic of Italy, for the XV edition of the Week of the Italian Language in the World – October 19 through October 24 – the chosen theme is “Italiano della musica, la musica dell’Italiano.”
As part of these series of events the Department of Italian at Georgetown University, the Embassy of Italy and the Italian Cultural Institute in Washington DC. host the second conference on teaching and research in the field of Italian language and culture. The purpose of this conference is to share innovative approaches and pedagogical strategies for teaching Italian language and culture at both the high school and university levels, and to showcase current trends in SLA theory and research.
