Italian for Foreign Students Iii
A.Y. 2020/2021
Learning objectives
The course aims to develop reading and writing abilities and metalinguistic reflection through the use of statements and articulated texts. Furthermore, the most significant phenomena of contemporary Italian are analysed. The exercises provide activities to improve listening and speaking abilities. The aim is consistent with the goal of the CdS to create a qualified professional figure of a culturally aware language expert.
Expected learning outcomes
At the end of the course a student will be able to produce clear and articulate texts on various topics relating to his/her field of interest and study, by assessing information and articulated texts taken from different sources, summarising them and stating them with fluency and clarity.
Moreover, he/she will be aware of the existence of an Italian language on the move and he/she has experimented with the lexicografics tools.

Should it become necessary to use online teaching, the program designed for face-to-face teaching is modified as follows:
Teaching methods.
Lessons will be held in synchronous mode, trying to enhance interaction (chat and forum), using MsTeams mainly; only in specific cases communicated to students, the lessons will be held in asynchronous mode (videolessons). In case there are activities in presence (following the indications of the university), students who cannot participate will be offered an alternative online activity that will allow them to develop the same linguistic skills of analysis and text production.
The timetable of the lessons remains unchanged and all the most important information will be provided through the ARIEL website pages of the course.
The methods and criteria for the lessons in attendance, which require a reservation with the appropriate app, will be published in good time on the ARIEL website pages of the course.
