AIMS AND CONTENT LEARNING OUTCOMES Acquisition of the basics of the language in order to communicate in everyday situations and understand the general meaning of written and oral messages. AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES Students shall demonstrate the ability: to understand the key points of familiar subjects regarding school, leisure etc.; to interact with a mother tongue speaker; to produce a simple text on topics which are familiar or of personal interest; to critically and independently use the skills acquired, in different fields of application. PREREQUISITES Students are invited to revise the basics of English grammar since these points will not be dealt with in any depth during lessons. TEACHING METHODS Distance learning (lessons online live and streamed). SYLLABUS/CONTENT The course consists of 36 hours of lessons conducted interactively using activities in the course book (see below) and other sources. It is stressed that, also on account of the likely wide range in students’ starting levels, the teaching hours will need to be supplemented by hours of individual study. To this end CLAT will conduct a test in September to assess everyone’s level: depending on the result, you will be required to do an A2 or B1 online course; for further details see the corresponding description for Laboratorio di lingua inglese (90196).
