Dal punto di vista cognitivo insegnare a comprendere significa insegnare ad attivare nella maniera più efficace la expectancy grammar, per giungere alla capacità di cogliere e collegare il filo logico che lega il discorso. La ricerca valuta il livello A1 (QCE) delle abilità ricettive in tre tappe di studio dell’italiano come materia opzionale, e precisamente in quinta elementare, terza media inferiore (che nel sistema scolastico croato corrisponde all’ottava elementare) e terza media superiore. La scelta di analizzare lo stesso livello di competenza linguistica è stata dettata dall’ipotesi che la lingua italiana nella verticale scolastica della scuola croata tende ad arginarsi alle competenze di base. Il fatto potrebbe rispecchiare i cambiamenti nella struttura demografica della popolazione istroquarnerina, interessata da una fluttuazione costante in controtendenza rispetto alla tradizione italofona. Si prenderanno in esame i dati comparati di un corpus complessivo di 1051 soggetti, scaturiti dall’analisi della lettura e dell’ascolto in base al grado di studio e al sesso.

From a cognitive point of view, teaching to understand means teaching to activate in the most efficient way the “expectancy grammar” in order to achieve the capacity to grasp and link the logical thread that links up speech. This article evaluates level A1 of the receptive abilities in three stages of learning Italian as an optional language. The choice to analyse the same level of linguistic competence was dictated by the hypothesis that the Italian language teaching in Croatian educational tends to contain only the basic competencies. This fact could be influenced by the changes in the demographic structure of the population in the area of Istria and Kvarner, which, due to the constant flux of the population, have a negative impact on the indigenous Italian population. In the article, we will analyse a complex corpus of the comparative data (that includes 1 051 participants) which resulted from the analysis of reading and listening and is based on the level of study and the sex of the interviewees.
