Dopo cinque anni di lavoro stiamo ultimando l’opera, anche con l'aiuto di un'assistente di italiano assunta presso la nostra scuola e la scuola vicina. L'assistente di italiano è una persona proveniente da una regione italofona che ha, in seno alla scuola, diversi compiti didattici, dalle ore di conversazione, alle lezioni con metà della classe, alla produzione di materiale didattico, ecc. Il contratto della nostra assistente scade a luglio 2010 e siamo alla ricerca di un/-a nuovo/-a assistente. I suoi compiti saranno principalmente i seguenti: ore di conversazione e approfondimento culturale in metà classi, ore di lezioni per studenti bilingui, produzione di materiali didattici per il libro. È di fondamentale importanza che la persona in questione abbia spiccate competenze didattiche, che voglia trasmettere a studenti germanofoni la cultura e la lingua italiana con attività che sviluppino le competenze comunicative in primo luogo e che sia seriamente interessata ad un lavoro di produzione attiva di materiali didattici in collaborazione con l'attuale team di redazione. È per questa ragione che mi rivolgo a Lei, nella speranza che Lei conosca qualcuno che corrisponda al profilo che cerchiamo tra i Suoi studenti (età massima intorno ai 30 anni, conoscenze minime della lingua tedesca).

The program is open to individuals who are completing or have recently completed (within the last 18 months) university studies in Italian language and culture, and is also open to students who are currently enrolled in M.A. or Ph.D. programs in Italian language and culture in North-American universities. While the program is intended for enrolled students or recent graduates whose course of study is Italian language and culture, it is also open to enrolled students or recent graduates in other disciplines who would like to have an intercultural experience of study and training in Italian schools. The program is part of the Europa dell'Istruzione project which promotes linguistic and intercultural exchange within Europe and across the globe. The terms of the program are as follows: 1. The selected candidates will plan a program of study and training that is in keeping with their university curriculum and their own cultural and linguistic goals. The program shall be carried out at an appointed school. 2. The selected candidates must be covered by medical insurance. [1] 3. Reimbursement for expenses will come to a net total of 500 Euros a month, and can be offered in non-monetary form such as provision of lodging. 4. The school which hosts the appointed candidates will designate a tutor who will see to their reception and integration, and who will serve as their principal resource and point of reference. The tutor will help the students to locate housing (apartment, room, or room with a family). The identity of the tutor will be communicated to the selected candidates, or to their university, before their arrival in Italy. 5. The selected candidates commit themselves to attend a program of 12 hours per week of training in English language instruction and to 13 cumulative hours per week of various other activities, namely, independent study, creation of projects, conversation with students, office hours, excursions, meetings with a tutor, and reports, in the school to which they are assigned. The schedule is arranged with the tutor designated by the directors of the program. 6. The selected candidates may be able to attend courses in the local universities. The courses should be consistent with the above mentioned activities and are subject to agreement of the interested parties. 7. The duration of the program will be from 3 months to a school year (between October and May). The duration is to be settled before the student's departure, according to the needs of the schools and the candidates themselves. The departure date should also conform to the directives of the Italian Consular Officers in regard to the acquisition of a visa. 8. Absence on the part of students-whether for reasons of personal or family health, or to take university exams-must be justified and may not in any case exceed 15 days. 9. At the end of the program in the designated school, the School Principal will issue a certificate indicating the dates of the scholarship, noting any periods of absence. The assigned tutor will assess the intern's work. The criteria for the selection of candidates are as follows, in order of importance: 1. Personal motivation 2. Letter of recommendation from a professor, addressing the motivation and character of the applicant 3. Experience of teaching any language to non-native speakers (preferably, experience teaching English to foreigners) 4. Status as current Italian majors or minors, recent graduates in Italian (within 18 months), or status as M.A. or Ph.D. students currently specializing in Italian language and culture 5. Completion of at least 3 semesters of Italian at university with a minimum grade of B, or equivalent knowledge of Italian 6. Experience of study or work abroad, or participation in cross-cultural activities and projects in North America 7. cumulative GPA of 3.25 or equivalent 8. Intention, confirmed by professor, of undertaking graduate study in Italian in a masters or doctoral program Documents to submit with application: 1. A short essay, of between 800 and 1000 words, in Italian or English on the theme "Italy and Your Country: Confronti." The essay may address questions such as: What similarities and differences have you noticed, or do you expect to find, between the American and Italian culture? How do you think you could contribute to the cultural, intellectual, and linguistic enrichment of an Italian student of English? Why do you wish to apply to this scholarship in Italy? (PLEASE NOTE: A high level of proficiency in Italian language and culture will be a preferential criterion for the selection of the candidate.) 2. A letter of recommendation from a professor. 3. An official transcript of university grades, updated to the most recent term of study. 4. A copy of the university diploma (B.A. or higher). If the number of applicants who are enrolled or recently graduated students is lower than the number of scholarships available in Lombardy, students from other disciplines can then be admitted. The criteria for selection will be the same, except for points 4 and 5.

Il compenso offerto è di 700 dollari mensili (circa 550 euro), uno stipendio di tutto rispetto se confrontato con quello dei docenti del posto (250/300 dollari mensili). Per il primo anno viene offerto anche un volo di andata e ritorno e l'alloggio. Il candidato deve avere un titolo di laurea nel settore matematico-scientifico, e preferibilmente il titolo SSIS, l'abilitazione all'insegnamento nella stessa area ed un minimo di esperienza didattica. E' necessaria altresì una buona padronanza della lingua spagnola. Le persone interessate sono invitate ad inviare URGENTEMENTE il proprio curriculum all'indirizzo marcello.garbati@andinanet.net>marcello.garbati@andinanet.net. Resta inteso che questo Ufficio declina ogni responsabilità sull'esito dei contatti e sul rapporto di lavoro che dovesse scaturire tra la scuola ed il docente selezionato, essendo appunto una scuola privata.

The appointment is full-time and starts on 1 March 2006. The Venetian editor will be employed for 9 months, during which time the 20 most important documents to Venetian copyright history need to be prepared and supplied to a specification to be agreed.

The successful applicant will be given a 9 month, fixed term, contract from the University of Cambridge on grade RA1A (Starting point 8) (plus pension rights) (or a one year contract pro rata). In addition, funds will be provided to assist with archive research expenses (eg travel/subsistence), scanning and translation.

CLOSING DATE: On-going Mail: Literature Pool Search Committee Department of Literature University of California, Santa Cruz 1156 High Street Santa Cruz, CA 95064 Sto cercando assistenti per diversi periodi delle vacanze linguistiche della prossima estate. Andando a vedere su www.vacanzelinguistiche.com troverete tante informazioni su queste vacanze studio in Maremma. Più particolarmente cerco assistenti per il primo periodo (3-13 luglio), il terzo (28 luglio-7 agosto) e il quinto (23 agosto- 2 settembre). Il lavoro che devono fare gli assistenti è abbastanza limitato: più che altro si tratta di essere con gli studenti, di accompagnarli ogni tanto in escursione, di assistere alle lezioni quando serve. Lo scopo principale delle vacanze è di stimolare i partecipanti a fare pratica della lingua (durante le lezioni e attività ma anche prima e dopo). Le mie lezioni sono centrate sulla pratica e anche le attività vengono in primo luogo organizzate per creare incontri (con la popolazione del paese dove stiamo per esempio), per farli parlare e anche naturalmente per proporgli soggetti culturali (della Toscana, della Maremma, dell'Italia in genere). Vengono proposte per esempio anche corsi di cucina, corsi di danza (salsa), visite guidate, ecc. Le vacanze si svolgono a Prata, un paesino della Maremma, a 50km a sud di Siena, a 10km di Massa Marittima, a 25km del mare. Gli assistenti dovranno quindi 'essere presenti', aiutarmi ogni tanto per qualche aspetto organizzativo ma per il resto si tratta anche di 'vacanze' linguistiche. Credo che per gli assistenti sarà un'esperienza interessante dal punto di vista didattico ma nello stesso tempo saranno anche vacanze in una bellissima zona. Offro alloggio e vitto agli assistenti dei diversi periodi sicché non avrete spese. Qualcosa ancora sui partecipanti: quest'estate saranno belgi, francesi o tedeschi con livelli diversi di conoscenza dell'italiano. Le persone interessate mi potranno mandare una mail a quest'indirizzo, accompagnato preferibilmente da un curriculum.

Oggetto: Borse di Studio di Dottorato in Linguistica Italiana Si bandiscono due borse di studio di dottorato nell'ambito di un progetto di ricerca intitolato 'La morfosintassi comparativa dei volgari italiani antichi'. Il progetto e' finanziato dall' Arts and Humanities Research Board ed e' diretto da Nigel Vincent e Robert Hastings (Universita' di Manchester) e Mair Parry (Universita' di Bristol). Al progetto collaboreranno anche due ricercatrici postdottorali: Alessandra Lombardi e Roberta Middleton. Gli argomenti dei dottorati saranno i seguenti: 'L'espressione della deissi nei volgari italiani antichi' e 'L'espressione della modalita' nei volgari italiani antichi'. Il primo dottorato si svolgera' a Bristol, con la supervisione di Mair Parry. Il secondo si svolgera' a Manchester, con la supervisione di Nigel Vincent e Robert Hastings. (Si veda sotto per una descrizione piu' dettagliata del progetto e degli argomenti dei dottorati). Se lo desiderano, i candidati potranno indicare la loro preferenza per uno dei due argomenti/sedi, oppure potranno presentare un'unica domanda senza indicazione di preferenza. Spettera' ai direttori del progetto decidere a quale candidato offrire ciascuna borsa. IL PROGETTO L'obbiettivo del progetto e' la redazione di una grammatica dei volgari dell'italiano (escluso il toscano) dalle origini al Quattrocento. A tale scopo, si selezionera' una gamma di costruzioni cardine. Gli studenti di dottorato faranno parte integrante del progetto. Pertanto, la loro ricerca sara' inclusa nei volumi pubblicati, previo riconoscimento dei loro diritti d'autore per i capitoli pertinenti. I CANDIDATI I candidati avranno una laurea in italiano o in linguistica conseguita con una buona votazione. Inoltre, avranno esperienza nello studio di una o piu' delle seguenti discipline: storia della lingua italiana, dialettologia italiana, linguistica storica e linguistica generale, teoria sintattica, tipologia linguistica, linguistica romanza comparata, filologia testuale. E' essenziale che i candidati abbiano una buona conoscenza dell'italiano scritto e parlato, poiche' il progetto sara' svolto in italiano e i risultati saranno pubblicati in italiano. Tuttavia, le tesi di dottorato andranno scritte in inglese. La conoscenza del latino sara' considerata un criterio preferenziale nella scelta dei candidati. Al termine del progetto, i candidati conseguiranno una laurea di PhD conferita dall'Universita' nella quale studieranno (Bristol o Manchester). Si possono richiedere ulteriori informazioni o chiarimenti mettendosi in contatto con i direttori del progetto presso gli indirizzi di posta elettronica indicati sotto. Si consiglia di scrivere a tutti e tre i direttori, poiche' non saranno tutti disponibili contemporaneamente nel mese di luglio. Le borse di studio comprenderanno il pagamento delle tasse universitarie (alla tariffa vigente per studenti britannici o dell'UE) e uno stipendio annuo di 6620 sterline inglesi. Le borse di studio decorreranno a partire da settembre 2000 per tre anni accademici consecutivi. Pertanto i dottorandi dovranno consegnare le loro tesi non piu' tardi del 30 settembre 2003. I candidati vincenti risiederanno nella sede del loro supervisore (Manchester o Bristol). Oltre a svolgere la loro ricerca, saranno tenuti a contribuire all'amministrazione ordinaria del progetto. L'eventuale lavoro sul campo in Italia verra' finanziato. Le domande vanno presentate via e-mail ai direttori del progetto presso i seguenti indirizzi: nigel.vincent@man.ac.uk M.M.Parry@bristol.ac.uk robert.hastings@man.ac.uk Le domande vanno indirizzate a tutti e tre i direttori. Si accetteranno solo le domande mandate per via elettronica. La lingua usata nelle domande puo’ essere l'inglese o l'italiano, ma la dichiarazione al punto 10 deve essere in italiano. Nel formulare le loro domande, i candidati devono rispondere ai punti seguenti: 1. Nome 2. Indirizzi di posta normale e elettronica per il periodo di luglio e agosto 3. Numero/i di telefono 4. Data di nascita 5. Istituzioni dove si e' conseguita la prima (e le seguenti) laurea/e 6. Votazione ottenuta 7. Lista degli esami sostenuti pertinenti al progetto e votazione riportata 8. Titolo dell'eventuale dissertazione (o tesi) e votazione riportata 9. Lingue parlate e/o lette (si indichi il livello: es. nativo, quasi nativo, avanzato, intermedio. In particolare, si dia un'indicazione precisa del livello di conoscenza del latino). 10. Una dichiarazione IN ITALIANO (circa 300 parole) che spieghi i motivi per cui il candidato/la candidata desiderano lavorare al progetto e quale esperienza o quali abilita’ apporterebbe al progetto. 11. Eventuali pubblicazioni 12. Nomi e indirizzi e-mail di due persone che mandino lettere di referenza LE LETTERE DI REFERENZA DEVONO ESSERE INVIATE PER VIA ELETTRONICA A TUTTI E TRE I DIRETTORI DEL PROGETTO ENTRO LA DATA DI SCADENZA DELLE DOMANDE. Le domande vanno presentate entro e non oltre il 31 luglio. I candidati vincenti verranno avvertiti entro la fine di agosto. Segue una descrizione generale del progetto e una descrizione degli argomenti delle tesi: DESCRIZIONE DEL PROGETTO Obiettivi del progetto sono: a) lo studio sistematico delle strutture grammaticali attestate nelle fasi piu' antiche dell'italo-romanzo, al di fuori della Toscana e b) la redazione della prima descrizione comparativa esauriente della morfosintassi dell'talo-romanzo antico. La lista preliminare dei temi da studiare include: il sistema temporale, i verbi modali (soprattutto dovere e volere), la negazione, la complementazione verbale, le preposizioni, la struttura dei sintagmi nominali (incluse le frasi relative), l'ordine delle parole. I seguenti studiosi saranno consulenti del progetto e faranno parte del comitato scientifico che si riunira' ad intervalli regolari per vagliare i lavori in corso: Paola Benincà (Padova), Michela Cennamo (Napoli), Nunzio La Fauci (Zurigo), Adam Ledgeway (Cambridge), Michele Loporcaro (Zurigo), Martin Maiden (Oxford), Lorenzo Renzi (Padova), Laura Vanelli (Padova). PROGETTO DOTTORALE A (MANCHESTER) Il progetto verte sull'espressione della modalita', cioe' l'espressione di significati come 'dovere', 'potere', ecc. Nel progetto generale includeremo l'analisi di alcuni verbi modali che tendono ad assumere sfumature temporali di significato. Ad esempio, nell'Italia meridionale e in Sicilia, l'equivalente del verbo italiano 'dovere' si usa spesso per indicare la temporalita' futura. Nella penisola si riscontrano numerosi casi in cui cio' accade con gli equivalenti del verbo 'volere'. Queste peculiarita' morfosintattiche si presteranno senza dubbio ai metodi di analisi grammaticale adottati nel progetto principale. Tuttavia, l'analisi di sfumature di significato piu' sotttili nella gamma di 'dovere' e 'potere' richiede un corpus e un'analisi testuale piu' dettagliati. Visti gli ovvi limiti di un singolo progetto dottorale, non si potrebbe richiedere un'analisi testuale esauriente di piu' di uno (o due) dialetti. Pertanto, il progetto di tesi di PhD complementera' il progetto principale con l'analisi approfondita di un solo argomento. La scelta del dialetto o dei dialetti analizzati dal candidato/dalla candidata dipendera' dall'esperienza precedente del candidato/della candidata prescelta. Il dottorando/ la dottoranda acquistera' dimestichezza con una gamma di abilita': l'analisi testuale, i metodi filologici, la dialettologia, la linguistica generale e storica. Inoltre, potra' consultarsi con gli altri membri dell'equipe del progetto e con Delia Bentley (HRB Institutional Fellow, Manchester), la cui area di specializzazione comprende la modalita' e il tempo in siciliano antico e in sardo antico. PROGETTO DOTTORALE B (BRISTOL) L'altra area di investigazione dettagliata e' la deissi, cioe' l'uso di parole come 'questo', 'quello', 'qui', 'ora', il cui significato e la cui funzione possono essere definiti solo in riferimento al contesto in cui occorrono. Anche questo argomento sara' sviluppato facendo uso di un corpus testuale esteso e complementera' la lista di categorie incluse nel progetto generale. Il dottorando/la dottoranda sara' responsabile della raccolta e dell'analisi di una serie di testi. La deissi e' un argomento che e' stato studiato in prospettiva panromanza (importante quindi a presenza a Bristol di Rodney Sampson, uno specialista in materia). In parte cio' si deve all'esistenza di sistemi diversi di marcatura morfologica della deissi, la qual cosa favorisce l'analisi interdialettale e interlinguistica. Nonostante i sistemi deittici individuali (in particolare i dimostrativi) siano stati ampiamente studiati, sono poche le analisi esaurienti dell'uso dei vari marcatori deittici all'interno di testi. di provenienza dialettale. Lo studio testuale comportera', fra l'altro, l'analisi dell'interazione di due tipi basilari di deissi: la deissi testuale ,cioe' l'uso degli elementi deittici per marcare la strutturazione (narrativa) del testo e la deissi situazionale, cioe' la relazione fra le forme usate e i partecipanti dell'atto linguistico (rivelata nel dialogo ma anche, in minor misura, nel tipo diamesico scritto).

In the meantime, the following may be of interest. 'Further Particulars' March 2001 Italian at Trinity College Trinity College has some 13,000 students spread over six Faculties. It is situated in the centre of Dublin, with many fine buildings and a copyright library which houses the largest book collection in Ireland, including good holdings in Italian. Trinity's Department of Italian, which dates from 1776, is the oldest in Ireland or Britain. Over 140 students study Italian in two four-year degree programmes: a joint honor degree known as the Two-Subject Moderatorship, and the recently introduced European Studies degree. These programmes are described in the current University of Dublin Calendar, pages J36-J38, and pages K48-K52. Most students start as beginners in Italian. There are Socrates exchange programmes with several Italian universities. The Department currently has an Associate Professor, two Senior Lecturers, a Lecturer, an Italian Government sponsored Lettore di ruolo, and a Language Assistant. Administrative support is provided by a part-time Executive Officer. The new contract post is a replacement for the Associate Professor, Corinna Salvadori Lonergan, who is taking early retirement. Staff teach an average of 9 or 10 hours per week in a 24-week teaching year; roughly half of this is taken up with language work, while the other half is concerned with literature and other cultural or historical topics. Secretarial support is necessarily limited, but staff members have access to computer equipment for teaching, administration and research. Recent developments in our course structure include an increased emphasis on options which students choose from a list of topics in Italian literature, language and society; the introduction of videos and computers in language teaching at junior and senior levels; and the availability of optional courses in linguistics and film studies. The new post Present members of staff have particular competence in medieval, Renaissance and modern literature. The new lecturer will be required to contribute to teaching in one or more of these areas, in addition to offering specialist options for senior students, drawing on personal interests and expertise. Depending on the needs, the lecturer may be called upon to contribute to any part of the degree programme. In addition to normal contact hours, staff members provide supervision for Senior Sophister dissertations. All lecturers are expected to share in the administrative work of the Department, including our Socrates exchanges, our European Studies contribution, and other projects. The Department expects a good standard of language performance from its students, and teaching methods are kept under constant review. Lecturers are expected to have a native or near-native level of competence in Italian. There is considerable expertise in language learning among our colleagues; Trinity teaches an exceptionally wide range of languages, and the Centre for Language and Communication Studies provides research and active support in this field. The College's European Studies programme also places a strong emphasis on language competence The Department has a tradition of open discussion at both formal and informal meetings; new ideas are welcomed and new colleagues will be encouraged to bring their own perspectives to the future development of Italian in Trinity The selection procedure Candidates shortlisted for interview will be invited to present a short paper on a research topic and to demonstrate the teaching of a language topic.
