The course provides the language skills defined by the Council of Europe in the B1 proficiency level
For further information on the various levels from A1 and A2 to B1, as well as higher ones, such as B2, C1 and C2, please check the British Council website either in Italian or in English.
All students who attended the school system in Italy learnt English as a compulsory subject for 13 years, i.e. 5 at primary school, 3 years while at middle school and at 5 more years at high-school. Therefore, all students graduating from Italian secondary schools are expected to reach the B2 level before enrolling at university.
The online English B1 course is a self-directed learning course and is available at the following link https://clire.aulaweb.unige.it/.
The online English B1 course offers self-learning material, aimed at catching up with English B1 grammar and syntax structures and training to sit the PC-based English B1 test. It's a trainer course meant to offer you enough revision to be able to sit the English B1 test.
As a self-learning activity, the online English B1 course is meant to be carried out with maximum freedom to fit in with each student's own needs, learning pace, timetable, and other classes.
However, it is strongly recommended that the online English B1 course is attended consistently, that is, devoting at least 20/30 minutes to it each day when students start working on it. Consistency will allow students to progress more efficiently in their revision and get ready to sit the English B1 test.
Those who do not pass the English B1 Assessment test will receive an invitation to attend an online B1 English course on the Moodle paltform, also called Aulaweb. This is an online self-learning activity that students can work on at their own pace with the support of a tutor. The course must be completed by a given deadline (more information will be offered when entering the course), in order to be offered the opportunity to sit the English B1 test again in March.
Those who do not pass the test in March will receive an invitation to attend a 40-hour interactive course, this time face-to-face with a teacher, who will support students in their preparation for a further B1 test at the end. Those who do not pass the B1 test after the 40-hour course will be able to re-take it according to the schedule set out by their English lecturer.
The online English B1 course is available at https://clire.aulaweb.unige.it/ and it is made of four modules. The first three are exercises, activities and grammar focuses aimed at revising B1 level skills and abilities that learners should have already learnt at school. Module 4 is split in three sections and each is a mock test or exam practice that allows students to practice exam exercises and activities.
