The course aims to
further develop the four skills to
C1 level with particular emphasis on writing, the
comparative analysis of the Italian
and English grammar systems and discourse analysis being its main
components. At the end of the course students are expected to be able
to apply their grammar knowledge to producing correct English versions of
Italian texts, completing cloze
texts and structural transformation exercises.
They will also write a brief essay based on the linguistic analysis of an advertisement. Sixteen hours of self-study listening tasks in the language
laboratory are compulsory. Students are expected to do a considerable amount of work as preparation
for lessons. Every two-hour lesson
requires at least two hours of preparation as private study. Students will also be required to complete 2 assignments, one in the first
and one in the second semester. To be
eligible for the exemption test 75%of
lessons must be attended. Please consult blogs (see below) for a more detailed
description of the course and the exam format.
