Expected learning outcomes, as for:

KNOWLEDGE AND LEARNING SKILLS:  students must prove to have acquired knowledge and comprehension of language content – the structures of the language, comprehension and analysis of written and oral texts – at a level of competence equivalent to B2 (CEFR).

USE OF KNOWLEDGE AND LEARNING SKILLS: students must prove to be able to use the knowledge and the learning skills developed during the course by passing the final  examination (approved/pass), as well as at the level of glottodidactics, by presenting the topics covered orally.

 INDEPENDENT JUDGMENT:students will have to show that they are able to analyse the teaching material available in a critical and independent way, and to further practise the language with self-study activities, working independently.

COMMUNICATION SKILLS:according to the overall goals described above, students will have to show that they have achieved a sufficient level of oral communication skills in English and that they can therefore use the language at B2 level using the 4 skills (Reading, Writing, Listening, Speaking),and talk about teaching and communicate in the classroom.

LEARNING ABILITIES:students will have to demonstrate to have developed a range of study skills in the subject area equivalent to B2 level, as illustrated in the overall goals.

The workshop intends to deepen and consolidate grammatical and linguistic aspects in order to achieve the pre-established training objectives. Students will work on vocabulary, morphosyntax, phonology, receptive and productive skills. Elements of reflection on language, language teaching (Songs) and textual analysis will also be introduced.

Here is the course syllabus based on the structures of the language studied, and which will be tested at the end of the course with a written examination:

The Past Simple and the Past Perfect.The Past Perfect Simple and Continuous. Used to, Get used to, Be used to. A little, a few. Both, either, neither, all, everything, every, each. So/such. Like/as, as if/as though; Comparatives and Superlatives (2). Articles: ‘the’ / zero article. Word order and linking words. Reported speech. Reflexive pronouns, each other/ one another. Modal verbs: deduction (past) + could, be able to, managed to (ability and possibility – past). ‘Do’ vs. ‘make’. Prepositions of location: across, over, through, along, past, beyond, inside, outside, towards, up, down.

Il laboratorio prevede 32 ore totali, a frequenza obbligatoria, suddivise in didattica frontale supportata da ulteriori ore di lavoro autonomo (assignments, project work) ed esercitazioni e discussioni a coppie / gruppo. Utilizzo di materiali cartacei e multimediali (audio, video, esercizi interattivi).

L'esame finale consiste in una prova  su forma e uso della lingua, con domande a scelta multipla e frasi da completare con elemento linguistico corretto, e un esercizio di 'reading comprehension', valutato in 30esimi (voto minimo per superare l'esame 18/30). Ulteriore elemento di valutazione consiste nella presentazione orale del lavoro a progetto realizzato dagli studenti/dalle studentesse sull'argomento di glottodidattica studiato durante il corso. L’esito positivo della prova (APPROVATO) conferisce 2 CFU.
