Task, pragmatica e interazione nei manuali di italiano L2 prima e dopo il CEFR

[Machine translation] The contribution analyzes the representation of the task eating at a restaurant table in the Italian L2 manuals published between 1980 and 2024. The study compares 34 didactic dialogues taken from 20 manuals with a corpus of spontaneous interactions, both taken from the PraCSI prototype (Pragmatically Annotated Corpus of Spoken Italian). Through a comparative analysis oriented to the task, the interactional structure and the pragmatic dimension of communication, the work examines the representation of the task, the situational context and the conversational roles, verifying possible changes following the publication of the CEFR and the Companion Volume. The results highlight a limited presence of the task in the manuals, a strong focus on the ordering phase only, a reduced attention to the context and a simplified representation of the interaction with respect to spontaneous speech. Furthermore, there are no substantial differences between the manuals published before and after the main European reference documents. The results suggest the need to integrate tasks, pragmatics and interaction in a more systematic way into the design of teaching materials and show the potential of task-based and pragmatically annotated corpora as a resource for selecting inputs more closely related to the real uses of the language.
