LEARNING OUTCOMES

The course offers a theoretical introduction followed by practical experience focused on the use of English in sporting contexts, corresponding to level B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). Knowledge of English is increasingly crucial in situations such as job interviews, presentations, interviews and meetings, both in the presence and at a distance.
