Lingua inglese ii (K01)
A.A. 2019/2020
Obiettivi formativi
Il corso è annuale e si svolge in entrambi i semestri. Possono accedervi gli studenti che abbiano completato il corso di Lingua Inglese I. Obiettivo dell'insegnamento è incrementare la conoscenza delle strutture di base dell'inglese, con particolare riguardo per gli aspetti fraseologici e la sintassi della frase semplice, e di sviluppare competenze di natura sia teorica, sia applicativa, nel campo del Business English. Gli studenti impareranno a valutare criticamente le coordinate espressive di occorrenze comunicative di natura interculturale nel campo della comunicazione di business, e a utilizzare le strategie comunicative maggiormente atte a gestirle, selezionandole sulla scorta di quanto appreso durante il corso.
L'insegnamento perfeziona e amplifica le competenze acquisite nel corso del corso di Lingua Inglese I (livello B2 del Quadro Comune Europeo di Riferimento). È necessaria anche una conoscenza funzionale della lingua italiana. Alla fine del corso gli studenti avranno raggiunto un livello di competenza linguistica in lingua inglese corrispondente al B2 plus del Quadro Comune Europeo di Riferimento, con speciale riguardo per l'ambito della comunicazione aziendale e commerciale.

Programma
Unit 1: "From words to clauses: an introduction to syntax".
From words to phrases: formal and functional categories. The principle of embedding. Analysis and description of clause constituents. Clause types. Verbs and verb complementation. Word order. Aspects of contrastive syntax. Practical applications (language consolidation, sample translations).
Unit 2: "Discourse practices in intercultural professional communication".
This teaching unit will be devoted to introducing the concept of LSP with a special focus on socially-mediated discursive practices in professional settings and intercultural interaction. Cross- and inter-cultural aspects of professional communication will then be applied to the discourse of business negotiation. Students will develop linguistic and theoretical competences suited to communicating effectively in multicultural business settings.
Unit 3: "An intercultural approach to identity construction/display in business discourse".
This teaching unit will introduce the concepts of identity applied to various forms of corporate communication in transcultural settings. Teaching will be based on text analysis and will focus on the investigation and assessment of the communicative coordinates of the texts under consideration both in the source and in the target culture, with a view to identifying the discursive, textual and linguistic strategies used in their (re)formulation, especially from an intercultural perspective. The range of materials analyzed will include both written and multimodal texts. Some principles of translation strategy will also be introduced.
Non-attending students have the same programme as those who are able to attend classes. Please make sure you study all the reference materials, as well as the materials and slides posted on Ariel.

Prerequisiti
Students must complete the first year English language course in order to be admitted to this course.
Metodi didattici
The language of instruction is English. A working knowledge of Italian is required to perform simple translation tasks.
The course is lecture-based and divided into three teaching units.
Language practice sessions ("esercitazioni") are scheduled in addition to the teaching units (see official timetable). Students are strongly advised to attend them.
Language practice sessions aim to improve students' general language skills (reading, writing, listening, speaking) as well as develop specific skills in the area of business, with a special focus on business writing and interaction (business negotiation). Sight translation practice sessions are also scheduled (second term only). Speaking practice sessions will also be organized in the second term.
Students who attend classes regularly may have their competences assessed through ongoing assessment. Further information will be provided during the practice sessions.

Modalità di verifica dell’apprendimento e criteri di valutazione
Assessment is exam-based. Prior to sitting the final examination, students will have to successfully complete a written and an oral language test. It is necessary to pass the written language test to be able to sit the oral language test. Both tests must be completed before you sit the oral exam with the course subject professor. Written language testing typically takes place at the beginning of each exam period (May, September, January). The procedure is as follows:
1. sit and pass the language skills written test;
2. sign up for the oral exam; before you can sit it, you must show your language competence in the language skills oral test. Remember that you must sit the preliminary language skills oral test and the exam on the same day (you cannot split the two). Please note that you may already have obtained marks for the language skills oral test test and/or part of the final exam in the course of the academic year. If this is the case, you only need to complete the parts you have not yet obtained marks for.
Language skills written test
This written test is composed of two parts:
a. use of English (no dictionary allowed): gapfill exercises (for a total of 30 gaps) testing grammar and vocabulary (general & business English) at B2+ level. Gapfill tasks may be cloze tests, multiple choice, sentence completion, vocabulary extension etc. Examples will be provided and posted on the course website. This part of the exam may be administered in electronic format. (30 minutes)
b. business translation (monolingual dictionary only): translation from Italian into English of a short business text (100-120 words) (e-mail, memo, short factual report, formal correspondence) (45 minutes)
Students who speak Italian as a second language may use a bilingual dictionary between their first language and Italian.
Language skills oral test
Students will participate in a simulated oral interaction task on a business-related topic. Assessment will be based on command of the language and will evaluate correctness of structure and vocabulary, general intelligibility (adequacy of pronunciation and intonation patterns), fluency and authenticity/idiomaticity (B2 plus level). Students may obtain a mark for this part of the assessment during language practice sessions (interim assessment). Students who have not been assessed during language practice sessions will have to take the language skills oral test on the same day as they sit the oral exam with the course subject professor.
Only students who have successfully passed both the written and the oral language skills tests will be able to sit the final exam.
Final exam
The final exam will consist in an oral exam with one of the course subject professors, who will award the final mark. Students will have to prove that they have mastered the concepts covered during the course and can talk about them in an academically appropriate manner. They must be prepared to discuss theoretical principles with reference to case studies discussed in class (which will be made available online for students unable to attend classes regularly). Students will also be tested on the technique of sight translation (oral translation from English into Italian of a few lines from a business-related text which has NOT been made available to students prior to the examination).
Part of the syllabus may be assessed through computer-based testing or in written form (closed questions). Interim tests may take place at the end of each unit. Marks obtained in the interim tests will go towards the formulation of the final mark.

They must be prepared to discuss theoretical principles with reference to case studies discussed in class (which will be made available online for students unable to attend classes regularly). Students will also be tested on the technique of sight translation (oral translation from English into Italian of a few lines from a business-related text which has NOT been made available to students prior to the examination).
Part of the syllabus may be assessed through computer-based testing or in written form (closed questions). Interim tests may take place at the end of each unit. Marks obtained in the interim tests will go towards the formulation of the final mark.
