Teaching Workshop: English Linguage
A.Y. 2020/2021
Learning objectives
Development of specialized English related to the Degree Program's specific disciplinary areas (e.g. territory, environment, landscape, ecology, sustainability, cultural heritage and tourism).
Integration of language and contents, in order to provide transversal tools useful for dealing with the use of the language in the required disciplinary sectors.
Development of the specific linguistic skills necessary for an academic presentation (written and oral) of the covered topics.

Expected learning outcomes
Enhancement of specific language skills: both oral (speaking, listening) and written (reading, writing).
Acquisition of the disciplinary vocabulary related to territory, environment, landscape, ecology, sustainability, cultural heritage and tourism.
Use of the acquired knowledge both on a conceptual and operational level.
Development of adequate learning skills to autonomously investigate the studied topics and to keep the acquired language alive.

Course syllabus
The course aims to promote communicative competence in English and to address the specific lexical knowledge related to the core subject areas characterizing the degree program (e.g. territory, environment, ecology, landscape, sustainability, cultural heritage, tourism). The course also aims to optimize the specific linguistic skills needed for the written and oral academic presentation of the covered issues.

*During the course there will also be asynchronous online learning moments when students will be provided with pre-recorded video content, lectures for viewing, guided modules, digital lecture notes, materials for reading, links to virtual libraries, or sites and related assignments for completing. Students will access the materials and satisfy the requirements on their own schedule, so long they meet the expected deadlines.

Teaching methods
The course will be delivered online, in workshop mode, and maintaining a mainly interactive format where students will have to actively contribute to the development of the lesson with task-based activities and projects carried out in groups or individually. Slides, web-apps, videos, and teaching materials useful for the execution and exemplification of the topics under study will be used.
Representative texts will be analyzed and discussed and will serve as a starting point for specific lexical and syntactic analysis. Opportunities for interaction and exchange (even remotely) will also be created to allow students to apply the theoretical elements acquired and implement the specific language learned.
During the course there will also be asynchronous learning moments when students will be provided with pre-recorded video content, lectures for viewing, guided modules, digital lecture notes, materials for reading, links to virtual libraries, or sites and related assignments for completing. Students will access the materials and satisfy the requirements on their own schedule, so long they meet the expected deadlines.

Assessment methods and Criteria
As this is a laboratory, a final exam is not required. During the workshop, students will be asked to complete specific tasks and to submit a final project to which feedback will be given (descriptors: relevance of content, lexical and syntactic accuracy, and presentation effectiveness).
