L’enseignant de langue: une profession en spirale

[Autom. eng. transl.] Our research is born from the desire to "question [...] the establishment of new university curricula stemming from the reforms advocated by Europe". To do this, we have articulated our reflections in four parts, highlighting firstly a synthesis of the European indications that lead, in 2011, to the establishment of a new path of initial teacher training in Italy; secondly, the strengths and weaknesses of this new path compared to the European recommendations; thirdly, a model, ANDROMEDA, developed by our research group in the language department of the Catholic University of Milan, which is born of the contraction of the European Profile for the training of language teachers in nine galactic image refers to the idea (and efficiency) of spiral learning. In the fourth part, we conclude our presentation with a reflection, essential for the European linguistic and educational policy, concerning the processes of metacognition and self-evaluation intended for the new entrants in the trade and the experienced professionals.
