Abstract
With the aim of enhancing and developing learners’ multilingual repertoires, research has explored ‘plural methodological approaches’, such as the intercomprehension between related languages (IC), which is based on the teaching of two or more languages belonging to the same family. IC focuses on the development of receptive skills, while having a positive impact both on the enhancement of production skills and on the acquisition of language awareness and intercomprehension strategies that can be applied to the learning of further idioms. This paper will illustrate the theoretical-methodological paradigm adopted in the design of innovative digital resources for minority language teaching, based on the simultaneous learning of Cimbrian, English and German at a lower secondary school in the province of Trento, Italy. The pupils will test the resources after having attended the curricular CLIL module in English and German. In this respect, the pilot study will also explore potential positive interactions between CLIL and IC language learning activities.
