Learning objectives
Nel contesto disciplinare del corso di laurea in Comunicazione e Società, l'insegnamento di Lingua Inglese si propone di consolidare ed espandere le competenze linguistiche di base - in particolare la conoscenza grammaticale, l'uso di lessico appropriato ai contesti d'uso e le abilità di lettura - alla luce dei potenziali sbocchi professionali dei futuri laureati in vari settori della comunicazione pubblica e privata e della possibilità di proseguire gli studi in corsi di laurea magistrale, nazionali ed internazionali.
In questa prospettiva, il programma del corso investiga l'ambito del discorso dei media, sia tradizionali che nuovi, nella convinzione che i testi mediatici rappresentino, per generi e linguaggi, un'area di grande attualità ove maturare le nuove competenze critiche e linguistiche richieste dalle contemporanee pratiche di significazione.
Il livello di uscita è il B2 del CEFR (Quadro Comune Europeo di riferimento).
