(University of Toronto) Today, it is more than ever important also to focus our attention on creating courses as inclusive as possible to make all students feel welcome and safe. Furthermore, the materials inside of some textbooks are not reflecting the Italian contemporary society both in language exercises (i.e., not allowing answers like "voi vi siete sposate") and in cultural readings (i.e., la donna si occupa della famiglia). |
