PROGRAMME
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 academic
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 blog (see
below) for a more detailed description of the course and the exam format.
