Dalla valutazione in DaD alle scale di valutazione dell’adeguatezza

Abstract

This article analyzes the evaluation of linguistic competence in distance learning during the crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. Based on the analysis of responses to a questionnaire administered to language teachers, language teachers perceive that assessment of foreign language has regressed notably due to this new mode of teaching, but that some of the difficulties in assessing distance learning can be resolved, in part, by adopting an approach based on global assessment, which integrates various competencies and abilities of learners through task-based activities. After having illustrated the varying solutions adopted by teachers during this period of distance learning, suppositions about task-based learning are presented, followed by the potential advantages of the pedagogical application of the scale of functional adequacy.
