Lessons: Monday 17.00- 19.00 aula 205

The goal of the
second year course is to bring students to a B2 level in the four
skills: reading, listening, speaking, and writing. All students will take a written and an oral exam. Students will be asked to read a set book of modern or contemporary fiction or
non-fiction in English which will also be used as the basis for their
oral exam. Information on set books will be provided by your
lettore.
All
students will be required to sign up for Prof. Lappin's Moodle elearning
platform where they may access information about the course
throughout both semesters and the exam period. The general
information Moodle page for second year LCLT English is: https://elearning2.uniroma1.it/course/view.php?id=1238 To enter you need to create an account if you don't have one for elearning. The grammar and usage syllabus can also be downloaded.
Esonero Exams
Frequentanti
students will have the option of taking an esonero
divided into two parts, with a single session per semester.
LCLT second year lettori
will provide information about esonero
arrangements in class. To be eligible for
the second year esonero exam, you must be able to show proof that you
have completed all first year credits for English 1. You will be
asked to show your yellow book signed by the English 1 lettore and
language docente, and/or your final grade as verbalized on infostud .
The Yellow Book (libretto di Anglistica)
Your yellow book is
an important document for internal use of our English language
program. You will need to present it to your lettore at written
exams, esonero exams, and orals. Even if you are a transfer student,
you must get a copy of the yellow book so that your future English
lettorato exams can be registered. You can get a copy from the VM
photocopy center.
