Danesi, Marcel – Italica, 1997
Addresses the question of whether teachers of Italian would be more effective if they understood current Italian adolescent talk. Reports a study that was carried out by University of Toronto researchers to determine this talk's characteristics. Forcefully argues that such talk become the Italian second-language teacher's primary focus. (CFM)
