How can Italian language learners improve texting proficiency

Italian language learners can improve their texting proficiency by engaging in informal digital communication such as texting apps and social media in Italian, which encourages real-time use of the language in familiar contexts. Using messaging platforms like WhatsApp for pre-task activities helps learners emotionally engage and express their personal sphere in Italian, facilitating communication practice and boosting confidence in writing skills. Additionally, incorporating creativity through storytelling, memes, and social media posts can enhance language usage and fluency in texting. Regular practice with native speakers or AI chatbots for correcting errors and providing language feedback also supports improvement. Finally, using texting as a tool to apply communicative strategies such as discourse markers and pragmatic language use can aid fluency and naturalness in written digital conversations. ^{1, 2, 3}
