Foreign immigration in Italy

Foreign immigration represents an increasingly relevant phenomenon in contemporary Italian society. The presence of people from different cultures and backgrounds requires careful reflection on the ways of integration and intercultural dynamics that develop within our country. In this context, education represents one of the main challenges for the integration of migrants into Italian society. In fact, the teaching of Italian as a second language (L2) is a fundamental factor for the success of the integration process. Over the years, the ways in which Italian as L2 is taught have undergone continuous changes as a result of the evolution of the migration phenomenon and Italian school regulations.
