Il ruolo della memoria nella didattica delle lingue straniere a distanza
The Role of Memory in the Online Foreign Language Teaching

Summary/Abstract: The role of memory in teaching and learning a foreign language has long been discussed. Through memorization techniques language skills are developed, while various morpho-syntactic and lexical aspects are acquired. The use of memorization techniques in foreign language teaching is well known. Teachers generally apply various strategies to encourage memorization and to overcome the difficulties of some students. This paper aims at showing the memorizing techniques used in distance learning including stimulating visual memory through the use of multiple images, stimulating auditory memory by vocalizing, or stimulating movement- activated memory including the routine. Some techniques can be used in both face-to-face and distance teaching, while some are useful in only one environment. Practical examples of the described situations will be discussed together with the various platforms and applications that can favour various memorization techniques, without losing sight of the role of the teacher in the teaching process.
