Some information for the Second Year Lettorato (Lettorato II) with Chris Young

Class 2A cognome studente A - Ce          with Chris Young

Lessons: Monday 17.00- 19.00 aula 205
              Tuesday  13.00-15.00 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.
