Abstract

This contribution gives an insight into the makings of a multilingual school by
focusing on the early phases of the project, the didactic planning and the
bureaucratic aspects. The author analyses the Italian-Albanian historical
relationship, dwelling on the development of the teaching of Italian language in
Albania during the last decades. A brief panorama of the current international
Italian schools around the world introduces the steps that led to the birth of the
Scuola Italiana a Tirana, followed by its various activities as a cultural and
learning centre, culminated in the affiliation of the school with the Dante Alighieri
Society. The last part of this contribution is dedicated to the didactics, methods,
techniques and strategies currently used in the Italian School in Tirana and its
future perspectives.
