ENGLISH LANGUAGE 1 (Da P a Z)

Part A. “Introduction to Academic Language Skills” (II semester – Prof.ssa Katherine Ackerley)
The course aims to do the following:
develop students’ ability to describe and use the Noun Phrase in English;
give students the notions and tools necessary to recognise and use various registers and genres;
help students develop their written skills, in particular formal report writing;
develop students' knowledge of the fundamentals of English pronunciation and to develop awareness of their own pronunciation.
During the course, the students will also have the opportunity to produce written texts and audio files using Moodle and other appropriate software. There will also be a focus on use of a monolingual learner dictionary and of linguistic corpora for lexicogrammatical searches.

Part B. "General English" (semesters I and II - Collaboratori ed Esperti Linguistici).
In the classroom there will be a focus on general language skills at B2+ level. Students will use online resources to develop their listening comprehension and writing skills. Use will be made of Moodle and University Language Centre resources.
