    Italiani scritti (dalla scuola) all'università. Cronache linguistiche da Ca' Foscari

    No full text
    A partire dall’illustrazione delle misure didattiche e dei sistemi di accertamento delle compe- tenze di lingua italiana offerti dall’Università Ca’ Foscari di Venezia, questo lavoro affronta il problema dell’italiano degli studenti universitari, ambientandolo nello stato dell’arte, ormai quasi trentennale, sull’argomento. Il contributo passa poi ad analizzare l’evoluzione dei corsi d’italiano attivi a Ca’ Foscari, facendo emergere come in essa si rilettano dinamiche e cambiamenti lin- guistici di medio periodo, che insistono sul delicato segmento che connette l’uscita dalla scuola e l’accesso all’università. Nella conclusione verranno passati in rassegna alcuni punti critici di questa realtà linguistica alla luce dei risultati dei test d’accesso d’italiano e degli elaborati scritti prodotti nell’ ambito dei corsi d’ italiano elementare ed avanzato. L’ intervento termina con alcune osservazioni sulla natura (linguistica ed extralinguistica) e sull’eziologia di questi errori di cui, in Appendice, è offerto un contingente rappresentativo

    A History of Catholic School Education in San Diego County, California, from 1850 to 1936

    No full text
    The purpose of this dissertation was to research, present, and thus to preserve, information concerning Catholic school education in San Diego County from 1850 to 1936. The historical method of research was the research methodology utilized in the study, in which the author primarily investigated original documents stored in religious archives. The author details the thirteen Catholic schools that came into existence during the time period; describes the background and arrival in San Diego County of the seven religious communities that conducted the various schools; and portrays the early leaders responsible for the growth and development of Catholic education in San Diego County. It was noted in the dissertation that Catholic schools gained a foothold in San Diego County in the 1880\u27s largely through the initiative of Father Anthony Dominic Uback, pastor of San Diego from 1866 to 1907. This Catholic leader was responsible for securing the first religious community of women to teach in San Diego County, the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, an influential community who would conduct seven of the first nine Catholic schools to open in the County. Until 1936, San Diego County formed a part of either the Diocese of Monterey or of Los Angeles, and it was concluded that, in comparison to the rest of the Diocese, Catholic education developed slowly in San Diego County. Indeed, prior to 1900, there existed only one private school for Catholics, the Academy of Our Lady of Peace, and three schools for Indians. It was not until 1912 that the first diocesan school opened in San Diego County. Nevertheless the Catholic schools instituted during the eighty-six year period under investigation were widely dispersed throughout the County, from San Ysidro in the south, Fort Yuma in the east and San Luis Rey in the north. The dissertation may serve as a valuable contribution to the study of Catholic educational history in San Diego County. Furthermore, a better understanding of contemporary Catholic education is gained throughout the background of historical research documented in the study
