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. 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
