Why do some Chinese-speaking learners know all the words in an Italian text but struggle to understand its meaning? What linguistic and cognitive factors guide reading in a second language? And how can teachers support the development of reading proficiency in increasingly multilingual contexts?Drawing on teaching experiences, research, and field observations, this volume explores the processes of reading comprehension in Italian as a second language (L2) among Chinese-speaking learners, highlighting the role of syntax, punctuation, word order, and pragmatic and socio-affective factors. Through studies focusing on children of Chinese origin in Italian elementary and middle schools and on university students participating in the Turandot project, the book analyzes the main linguistic and extralinguistic difficulties and offers reflections and recommendations for language teaching.
