COURSE PROGRAMME (also in the Guida Anglistica)

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