The Challenges Encountered by Iraqi students in Learning the Italian language and Creating a New Methodology in their Learning

Azhar Al Khattab, University of Baghdad (Iraq)

Abstract

Through my experience in teaching, I usually make an investigation to know whether the students face any difficulties in comprehending the Italian language, and especially in grammar. This is mainly because the sentence structure in the Italian language differs from the sentence structure in the Arabic language, since it is a totally different language that contains different roots, like cultural roots. Therefore, the student faces some difficulties with the verbs, and the use of the auxiliary verbs, prepositions, and so on.
Among the main difficulties related to the pronunciation are: sometimes, the Arabic speaking student whose mother tongue is the Arabic language is not able to distinguish between the vowels (p, b) or between the letters ( o and u).
This difficulty is a result of not using new methodologies in learning the Italian language in addition to the absence of the student and his wrong way of learning the language.
One of the basic solutions that motivates the students to learn and understand the Italian language proposes to apply new and modern teaching methods and among the most important ways are: the use of modern sources related to modern technology, for example, the use of textbooks approved by Italian universities to teach Italian language to foreigners, in addition to allocating great time to practice the language in a class of intensive exercises and dialogues between students, creating plays and other activities. Moreover, I also find it useful to organize intensive summer classes courses to Italy in schools or institutions to teach Italian for the purpose of motivating students and learning and mixing with Italians and foreign students who speak the Italian language as a result of the practice of many various activities across the Internet and mobile phones and by this the student will feel self-confident in expressing himself.
