Programme
The
goal of
the second-year course is to bring students to a B2 level in the four
skills: reading, writing, listening and speaking, and to practise
upper-intermediate/advanced grammar and vocabulary. At the end of the
course, there will be a written exam (see below) and an oral exam.
Students are required to read a set book of modern or contemporary
fiction or nonfiction in English, which will be used as the basis for
their oral exam. Information on the set books (the book you read for
the oral exam) will be provided by your lettore.
Students are strongly
encouraged to attend lessons
and are also expected to do a considerable amount of self-study
outside class hours. All students are encouraged to come to
ricevimento,
especially
studenti
non-frequentanti
– ufficio 203, sede Marco Polo. There is a list at the end of this
section with ricevimento
times
for each lettore.
Final
exam (written) for ALL students (frequentanti
& non)
The
final exam consists of three
parts:
1) grammar, 2) reading, 3) writing. To pass the exam, students must
pass
all three
sections. The grammar section includes questions on grammar and
usage, and a cloze test (a text with missing words to be filled in).
The reading section consists of reading a page of text in English
followed by a vocabulary exercise and some comprehension questions.
The writing section consists of writing a short composition from a
choice of topics. The first available date for the full exam is June
2020. Students who pass the written paper must take an oral exam; the
oral exam must be taken in the same exam session as the written
paper.
Esoneri:
Students
who attend at least 75% of lessons (studenti
frequentanti)
have the option
of doing the final exam in two parts (esoneri),
the first esonero
at the end of the first semester (December) and the second esonero
at the end of the second semester (May). The first esonero
consists of grammar and reading; the second esonero
consists of grammar and writing. The final written result is the
combined results of the two esoneri.
Students
who pass the first esonero
are eligible to do the second esonero;
students who do not pass the first esonero
must do the full exam in June or September, but should continue
to attend lessons
in the second semester. Students who do not pass the second esonero
cannot do the full exam in June but must wait until the September
session.
To
be eligible for second year exams, students must be able to show
proof
that they 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.
Results
of written exam:
Results
of all
written exams (full exam & esoneri)
will be published on the web pages of the docenti,
and will include information about where/when to do the oral exam and
with which lettore
(see below). Students who do not pass the written exam/esonero
are strongly encouraged to come to visione
compiti
to see their paper and discuss their mistakes with the lettore
before
attempting the exam again.
Oral
exam (10-15 minutes):
Students
are required to read a set book of modern or contemporary fiction or
nonfiction in English, which will be used as the basis for their oral
exam, followed by a general conversation. Students who pass the two
esoneri
will do the oral exam with their own lettore.
Students who do the full exam (June, September, January) will do
their oral exam with one of the lettori,
not necessarily their own.
