Lingua inglese ii (K02)
A.A. 2018/2019
Obiettivi formativi
Al corso, che si articola in due semestri (1° semestre: 40 ore; 2° semestre: 20 ore), possono accedere solo gli studenti che hanno completato il corso di primo anno di Lingua Inglese.
Il corso, che combina prospettive teoriche e pratiche, è volto a familiarizzare gli studenti con il discorso giuridico e istituzionale in lingua inglese. Pertanto essi avranno la possibilità di apprendere i fondamenti degli ordinamenti giuridici di common law e dei principi che li sottendono, anche nella prospettiva della comparazione con gli ordinamenti di civil law, con particolare attenzione per gli aspetti linguistici. Gli studenti acquisiranno gli strumenti per comprendere le modalità di uso del linguaggio giuridico nei contesti nazionali, sovranazionali e internazionali. Nel corso delle lezioni, basate sull'analisi di materiali autentici (testi di legge, contratti, sentenze, lodi arbitrali, ecc.), acquisiranno la capacità di leggere ed interpretare i testi giuridici, imparando a gestirne le strutture linguistiche peculiari, la terminologia specifica e la fraseologia ricorrente. Il corso comprende anche una componente incentrata sul discorso giudiziario e sull'interpretazione giuridica in cui gli studenti svilupperanno la capacità di tradurre testi orali in modalità di interpretazione consecutiva, prendendo appunti ove necessario secondo il metodo professionale.

Informazioni sul programma
Language practice sessions are scheduled in addition to the course. Additional training sessions, focusing on consecutive interpreting techniques, will be provided in the second term. Students are strongly advised to attend practice sessions and consecutive interpreting seminars. Please note that some of the skills taught in the course for which training is provided in seminars and practice sessions are very technical and require extensive practice.
Detailed information about the materials to be used in language practice sessions will be provided at the beginning of the academic year.
Reference grammar
Martin Hewings, Advanced Grammar in Use, with answers, Cambridge University Press, 2005 (the edition with a CD-ROM is recommended). [to be noted: this textbook was already used in the first year).
Students who are unable to attend the language practice sessions must contact Professor Catenaccio for guidance on how to prepare for the exam.

Prerequisiti
PREREQUISITES
The course builds on the competences developed in the first-year English language course. The entry level for the course is set at C1 level of the CEFR (minimum requirement). A working knowledge of Italian is also required. The exit level is set at C1plus/C2 of the CEFR, with special reference to legal and institutional domains.
FINAL ASSESSMENT
Assessment is exam-based. Prior to sitting the final oral examination with the course subject professor, students will have to pass two preliminary language skills tests (written and oral).
PRELIMINARY LANGUAGE SKILLS TESTS
Written test
This written test is composed of two parts.
The first part (40 minutes) involves writing a summary of an oral text on a legal, professional or institutional topic, of about 150-200 words) which students will listen to. The summary will be assessed on the basis of the following criteria: ability to grasp and synthesise text contents; ability to reformulate txt contents without altering or reducing them; grammatical correctness; variety and appropriateness of lexicon and phraseology used; textual cohesion. For this part a monolingual dictionary may be used.
The second part (30 minutes) involves the translation of a non technical legal text (e.g. an article on a topical legal issue or on a general problem having legal implications) of about 150 words taken published in the media, or downloaded from the Internet. For this part, a bilingual (Italian/English) dictionary may be used.
Only students who have taken both preliminary language skills tests (written and oral) successfully will be allowed to sit the oral exam.
Speaking test: professional presentation
Argumentative oral presentation, lasting from 4 to 5 minutes (maximum), using slides or a presentation programme such as PPT. The student prepares and delivers a presentation on a topic dealt with in the course or in the language practice sessions. At the end of the presentation the student will be asked some questions, prompting further illustration of aspects of the presentation.
ORAL EXAM
The final exam will consist in an oral exam with the course subject professors, who will award the final mark. Students will need to demonstrate proficient command of the language varieties and theoretical instruments taught in the course, and will need to demonstrate their ability to analyse and discuss legal case studies autonomously and using appropriate analytical categories. They will also be tested on the technique of consecutive interpreting (oral or written translation from English into Italian of a monologic or dialogic legal text, e.g. a comment, a report, an interview, a court examination; the text will be read twice).
Part of the syllabus may be assessed through computer-based testing or in written form (closed questions). Interim tests will be administered at the end of each module. Marks obtained in the interim tests will go towards the formulation of the final mark.
