INFORMATION REGARDING GROUP CHANGES

Group changes are not envisaged as access to Edificio Marco Polo is controlled by the university administration and students will be admitted in rotation by matriculation  number, strictly following the pre-established alphabet divisions. Students who change group will not then be admitted to  the building in their new group. For those intending to follow the course exclusively online any requests to change assigned group will be confirmed after reviewing timetable options and class sizes. To be considered for a group change online, students must find a student from another group willing to swap. Online groups must, however, remain roughly equal in numbers and any disparity between group sizes will limit the possibility of changes.

Programmes - Text Analysis & Translation

Depending on options chosen in your Piano di Studi, you will need to attend either the first or the second semester or both. Fuori corso students need to do  the Language exam with  Prof. Wardle ( Language and Gender) and the Text Analysis lettorato  exam with  me.

The course aims to further develop the four skills to C1 level with particular emphasis on writing and speaking. Students will develop the skills to carry out a linguistic analysis of persuasive texts. During the course students will also work on developing oral skills and will give group presentations on a persuasive text of their choice.  The final exam will be a brief academic essay based on the textual  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  develop  oral  paraphrasing skills and will  be required to  give a group  presentation on a comparative analysis of a feature of their choice of the English/ Italian  grammar systems. The final  exam  will  be  a brief translation ( approx. 200  words) from Italian to  English.
