o:464408 La glottodidattica umanistica in Italia: una prospettiva storica Humanistic Edulinguistics in Italy: A Historical Survey it Il saggio ricostruisce la nascita del movimento ‘umanistico’, cioè della psicologia cognitivista, della teoria cognitiva delle emozioni, della psicologia dell’apprendimento di Rogers, Ausubel, Bruner e altri. Si tratta dei principi che il British Council condensò nella formula Focus on the learner, che ancor oggi guida gran parte delle proposte edulinguistiche. L’impatto della glottodidattica umanistica in Italia era già stato studiato da Balboni due anni prima, nel saggio del 2015 allegato a questo stesso video 3. ‘Humanistic Language Teaching’ is still used today in essays and books, mostly referring to a methodology which focuses on the learner and above all on his emotions as relevant factors in acquisition. As a matter of fact, HLT is something more and it concerns the very idea of learning, of interpersonal relations, of verbal and non-verbal languages, and so on. In this essay the author describes the scientific context of the ’60s, the decade when an impressive number of books were published that changed the history of teaching and in particular of language teaching. Then, the main 6 elements of HLT are described, with reference to their definition in the ’70s and ’80s. The rationale of the essay is not just historical survey, but rather the need to focus attention on the whole paradigm of HLT, not only on the a ective dimension. 1552099 10.14277/2280-6792/ELLE-6-1-17-1 2022-03-10T11:39:39.598Z 44 yes 1552095 Paolo E.
