I YEAR LETTORATO inglese a.a. 2016/2017


Group A3 (Peterson-More), studenti G-L
   
martedi 10,30-12,30 room III (Villa Mirafiori)
giovedi 10,30-12,30 room V (Villa Mirafiori)


You need to bring New English File Intermediate Digital, and ideally also "Extra 1" to the first lesson (see below).

The course aims to improve students’ listening, speaking, reading and writing skills to B1 level and beyond (particularly reading to B1+). The course is based on New English File Intermediate Digital (3rd edition, published 2013), authors  –  C. Oxenden and C. Latham- Koenig, English Grammar in Use by R. Murphy and "Extra 1" (dispensa). Students should aim to attend at least 75% of the lessons and be prepared to do at least 2 hours self-study for every hour in class (4 with me, 8 hours self-study). Students must choose a book (fiction or non-fiction, but not simplified) in standard, modern English (to be approved by their teacher). They will read this book during the year, taking notes on the vocabulary. At the oral exam they will bring the book and their notes with them and they will be asked to talk briefly about themselves and about the book they have read in terms of content and vocabulary (explaining or translating words or expressions selected by the teacher as within the target vocabulary range for the level).
