In fact,\n over the past two generations, the language vitality and vigour of the limba<\/jats:italic> (in Sardinian: language)\n have been drastically reduced. Nowadays, youngsters tend to abandon the limba when the literacy process towards\n Italian starts in school. The OCSE-PISA 2012 reports that students in Sardinia are among the lowest in literacy within\n the Italian state: Bolognesi and Heeringa (2005)<\/jats:xref> argue that youngsters are\n losing Sardinian without mastering the Italian language. In order to reverse this language shift, a common written\n standard, the Limba Sarda Comuna (LSC) was made official by the local government in 2006. However, the LSC is still\n contested: \u201cplastic language\u201d, \u201cFrankenstein monster idiom\u201d are some of the epithets cast against it by the local\n press. In this contribution, we show a successful pilot experiment of a concrete application of the\n limba<\/jats:italic> at school, that in our opinion could be easily applied on a wider scale in other parts of\n Sardinia. In fact, in the academic year 2014\u201315, three classes in a middle school of Orosei (Nuoro) took part in a\n laboratory where the limba<\/jats:italic> was used both orally (local variety) and in written form (LSC, for the\n didactic material) following the so-called CLIL approach. Students learned Sardinian history in a Mediterranean and\n European perspective, using the LSC in reading and writing. No participant\u00a0\u2013 L2 speakers included\u00a0\u2013 rejected the LSC\n for being \u201cartificial\u201d, even though the local variety is approximately 85% similar to the LSC, according to Bolognesi (2007)<\/jats:xref>. This pilot experiment shows that a concrete application of\n the LSC in schools is possible and desirable. A discussion on how to expand this pilot experiment in different\n settings will be provided.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1075\/wlp.8.13gob","type":"book-chapter","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,11]],"date-time":"2020-08-11T06:23:29Z","timestamp":1597127009000},"page":"221-234","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Which Sardinian for education?"],"prefix":"10.1075","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1748-4921","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Federico","family":"Gobbo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/04dkp9463","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"University of Amsterdam"}]},{"given":"Laura","family":"Vardeu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/04dkp9463","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"University of Amsterdam"}]}],"member":"1757","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"CIT0473","first-page":"3","article-title":"Le variet\u00e0 del repertorio","volume-title":"Introduzione all\u2019italiano contemporaneo.
