Obiettivi formativi
Obiettivo del corso è introdurre le principali caratteristiche della lingua inglese in prospettiva teorica e applicata. In dettaglio, il corso fornirà nozioni pratiche di fonetica, fonologia e morfosintassi, con particolare attenzione alle strategie di formazione lessicale. Si propone inoltre di sviluppare le abilità critiche di ascolto e lettura degli studenti, oltre alla conoscenza grammaticale. Il livello di ingresso raccomandato è il B1 del CEFR. Si richiede la conoscenza operativa dell'italiano. Il livello di uscita è il B2 del CEFR.
Risultati apprendimento attesi
Al termine del corso, gli studenti raggiungeranno un livello di competenza nella lingua inglese pari al B2 del CEFR, e padroneggeranno tutte le abilità linguistiche fondamentali (in particolare l'ascolto e la lettura). Avranno dimestichezza con la grammatica della lingua inglese a livello B2, specie con l'uso dei tempi verbali. Saranno in grado di discutere in inglese di argomenti non specialistici.

Prerequisiti
ENTRY LEVEL
This course, entirely taught in English, requires a minimum English competence of CEFR B1.
It will be up to students below this level to make up for any gaps in their English language knowledge up to B1.
FINAL EVALUATION
Assessment is test-based. To obtain a final mark ('voto di esame'), students will have to pass course content tests covering the contents of the three teaching units, as well as preliminary language skills tests.
Students holding an official (e.g. Cambridge) certification (obtained before the beginning of the first semester and no older than 3 years), at First Certificate of English level or equivalent (a list of equivalent certifications will be provided), with an A or top grade, may skip the preliminary language skills test. A copy of the certificate will have to be handed in at the beginning of the academic year, according to the instructions provided during the official course.
PRELIMINARY LANGUAGE SKILLS TESTS ('accertamento linguistico')
The preliminary language skills written test assesses students' grammar and listening skills, focusing in particular on the specific syntactic aspects dealt with in both the official course and the language practice sessions throughout the academic year. Preparation for the preliminary language skills written test is provided especially during Language practice sessions. The preliminary language skills written test is composed of 1) a grammar test, with exercises including true-or-false questions, multiple choice questions, gap filling, sentence transformations - 30 questions in 30 minutes (pass mark: 18/30); and 2) a listening exercise with a lexical cloze-test - 10 gaps to fill in 10 minutes (pass mark: 6/10). This is administered 3 times a year during 'appelli scritti', requires online SIFA registration, and must be passed by the end of the 2018-2019 academic year (15 February 2020). Dictionaries are not allowed.
One preliminary language skills oral test (a short 2-5 minute interview), in which students have to prove that they can talk about themes and subjects that will be indicated during the course in a linguistically correct and academically appropriate manner. This is administered 6 times a year during 'appelli orali', and requires online SIFA registration.
COURSE CONTENT TESTS
Prior to sitting the preliminary language skills oral test, students will have to pass three written tests on the contents of each of the official course's units. Each test is composed of 31 questions, to be answered in 30 minutes. The three course content tests are administered 6 times a year during 'appelli orali', and require online SIFA registration. In addition, interim tests ('parziali') may be administered at the end of the course content units, substituting for course content tests, conceived for attending students. Students may sit the three course content tests together or separately, in the order they prefer, during each of the 6 yearly sessions of 'appelli orali' or as interim tests, as long as they pass them by the end of the last exam session of the 2018-2019 academic year (15 February 2020). Marks obtained in the course content tests will go towards the formulation of the final mark. Instructions on how to register for interim tests are provided on Ariel at the end of the various units.
FINAL MARK ('VOTO DI ESAME')
Only students who have successfully passed their preliminary language skills written test and the course content tests will be able to sit the preliminary language skills oral test and obtain a final mark.
The final mark for the English I course will be awarded at the end of the preliminary language skills oral test by one of the course subject professors, who will consider the marks obtained by the student in all the different tests, particularly in the course content tests.
The marks obtained by students in the various tests during academic year 2017-2018 will be valid until the last exam session of the academic year, i.e. 15 February 2020 included. After that date, students will not be able to use those marks, and will have to sit and pass all the tests again, according to the new syllabus (which may be different; please check it for changes).

Prerequisiti
ENTRY LEVEL
This course, entirely taught in English, requires a minimum English competence of CEFR B1.
It will be up to students below this level to make up for any gaps in their English language knowledge up to B1.
FINAL EVALUATION
Assessment is test-based. To obtain a final mark ('voto di esame'), students will have to pass course content tests covering the contents of the three teaching units, as well as preliminary language skills tests.
Students holding an official (e.g. Cambridge) certification (obtained before the beginning of the first semester and no older than 3 years), at First Certificate of English level or equivalent (a list of equivalent certifications will be provided), with an A or top grade, may skip the preliminary language skills test. A copy of the certificate will have to be handed in at the beginning of the academic year, according to the instructions provided during the official course.
PRELIMINARY LANGUAGE SKILLS TESTS ('accertamento linguistico')
The preliminary language skills written test assesses students' grammar and listening skills, focusing in particular on the specific syntactic aspects dealt with in both the official course and the language practice sessions throughout the academic year. Preparation for the preliminary language skills written test is provided especially during Language practice sessions. The preliminary language skills written test is composed of 1) a grammar test, with exercises including true-or-false questions, multiple choice questions, gap filling, sentence transformations - 21 questions in 30 minutes (pass mark: 12/21); and 2) a listening exercise with a lexical cloze-test - 10 gaps to fill in 10 minutes (pass mark: 6/10). This is administered 3 times a year during 'appelli scritti', requires online SIFA registration, and must be passed by the end of the 2017-2018 academic year (February 2019). Dictionaries are not allowed. An interim test ('parziale') may be administered at the end of the second semester, open only to attending students.
One preliminary language skills oral test (a short 2-5 minute interview), in which students have to prove that they can talk about themes and subjects that will be indicated during the course in a linguistically correct and academically appropriate manner. This is administered 6 times a year during 'appelli orali', and requires online SIFA registration.
COURSE CONTENT TESTS
Prior to sitting the preliminary language skills oral test, students will have to pass three written tests on the contents of each of the official course's units. Each test is composed of 31 questions, to be answered in 30 minutes. The three course content tests are administered three times a year during 'appelli scritti', and require online SIFA registration. In addition, interim tests ('parziali') may be administered at the end of the course content units, substituting for course content tests, open only to attending students. Students may sit the three course content tests together or separately, in the order they prefer, during either of or all the three yearly sessions of 'appelli scritti' or as interim tests, as long as they pass them by the end of the last exam session of the 2017-2018 academic year (15 February 2019). Marks obtained in the course content tests will go towards the formulation of the final mark. Instructions on how to register for interim tests are provided on Ariel at the end of the various units.
FINAL MARK ('VOTO DI ESAME')
Only students who have successfully passed their preliminary language skills written test and the course content tests will be able to sit the preliminary language skills oral test and obtain a final mark.
The final mark for the English I course will be awarded at the end of the preliminary language skills oral test by one of the course subject professors, who will consider the marks obtained by the student in all the different tests, particularly in the course content tests.
The marks obtained by students in the various tests during academic year 2017-2018 will be valid until the last exam session of the academic year, i.e. 28 February 2019 included. After that date, students will not be able to use those marks, and will have to sit and pass all the tests again, according to the new syllabus (which may be different; please check it for changes).
