LEARNING OUTCOMES (FURTHER INFO) This module aims to introduce students to the scientific study of the Swedish language, in particular Swedish syntax, and to bring students to the A2/B1 level of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.

The practical module is made up of weekly classes (4 hours a week over 20 weeks, i.e. 10 weeks per semester). SYLLABUS/CONTENT Swedish Language II is divided into two parts: a one-semester linguistics module ("modulo teorico"), which is held in the second semester, and a two-semester practical module ("modulo pratico" or "esercitazioni" o "lettorato"). Each component ("modulo pratico" and "modulo teorico") is assessed separately. The practical module is assessed at the end of the second semester through a written exam paper (grammar, vocabulary and writing) and an oral exam. The linguistics module is assessed through an oral exam at the end of the second semester. The linguistics module ("modulo teorico") is an introduction to Swedish syntax and word-order. The practical language module aims to bring students to the A2/B1 level of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. The final mark is calculated as follows: 33% (of the overall mark) is the written practical part; 33% (of the overall mark) is the oral practical part; 33% (of the overall mark) is the linguistics part.
