Information for First Year Students 2016-2017
Chris Young – Primo AnnoThe course aims to improve students’ listening, speaking, reading and writing skills to B1 level and beyond (particularly reading to B1+). The course is based on New English File Intermediate Digital (3rd edition, published 2013), authors – C. Oxenden and C. Latham- Koenig, English Grammar in Use by R. Murphy and Extra 1 (dispensa). Students should aim to attend at least 75% of the lessons and be prepared to do at least 2 hours self-study for every hour in class (4 with me, 8 hours self-study). Students must choose a book (fiction or non-fiction, but not simplified) in standard, modern English (to be approved by their teacher). They will read this book during the year, taking notes on the vocabulary. At the oral exam they will bring the book and their notes with them and they will be asked to talk briefly about themselves and then about the book they have read in terms of content and vocabulary (explaining or translating words or expressions selected by the teacher as within the target vocabulary range for the level).
Details regarding the admission to and organization of exams will be published soon.

This blog:
During the lessons we will suggest lots of work for you to do as self-study
at home. Obviously the more you study the more you will learn.
Attending Lessons – If you can’t attend lessons speak to one of the teachers and we can indicate the correct programme for you to study. If you miss a lesson find out from other students what we have done and study it. Try to participate actively in the lessons.
Listening Comprehension – Unfortunately we do not have enough time to do
extensive listening activities. So it is very important for you to do independent
listening activities. In the language
lab there are various listening materials, including the cassettes which
accompany English File. We also recommend you watch as many DVDs in English and
as much English language TV (e.g. the BBC, Sky TV) as possible. If you use
subtitles it becomes a reading activity not a listening activity, so we
recommend you watch mainly without subtitles and use the subtitles only to
check your comprehension later.. Organize your time and organize your learning.
Organized notes are easier to refer to and to revise from. Beyond the book you
are asked to read it is your responsibility to find more things to read:
English newspapers, magazines etc. are good sources of short articles.
The Internet is a fabulous resource for both listening and reading
material, so use it! I strongly recommend this site, particularly for
listening:
You need to listen and read widely! If you need any help, do come and speak
to us before or after the lessons or during our office hours. University is
very different to school. It is up to you now to organize your studies and
measure your progress.
You will also need a contemporary book of your own choice in modern,
standard English (and a DVD if you are willing to do more) which you have to
read and take notes on during the year. The book can be fiction or non-fiction
but not simplified English. It should be the kind of book you would read in
your own language. As you read you should take notes on the vocabulary
(concentrating on common words and expressions) which you will be asked to talk
about during the oral. You should bring both the book and your notes to the
oral exam. You will also need to bring your ‘Libretto di Anglistica’ to the oral
(available from the copisteria).
First year exam
The exam lasts 2 hours and 50 minutes and is based on your general
knowledge of English. The level is Intermediate/Upper Intermediate or B1+ on
the European scale. As regards the grammar the exam is based on New English
File Intermediate Digital Student’s Book and Workbook (with key) by C. Oxenden
and C. Latham- Koenig (Oxford University Press). If you studied English at
school you should already be at, beyond or near this level (!).
There are 3 sections in the exam.
First there is a grammar section with 2 exercises. One has 15 sentences and
you have to decide if they are right or wrong and correct the ones that are
wrong. There may be more than one mistake in each sentence. The second is a
text with 15 spaces and you have to put one word in each space.
The second section is reading comprehension with a text from a newspaper, a
synonym exercise based on words underlined in the text, and then questions
about what the text says and the meaning.
The third section is a writing section. You have to write a short
composition on a general topic or a letter.
Each section is worth 30 points and you have to pass all the sections with
at least 18 points. Later there is an oral exam in which you will be asked to
talk first briefly about yourself and your life, and then about a book that you
have read in English and comment on any language items the teacher asks you
about. You can explain the items in
English, suggest a synonym or translate the context sentence into Italian.
There are two ways to do the exam:
1. You can do the FULL exam (written and oral) in June of this academic
year, or September or January/February of the next academic year.
