Course syllabus

UNITS 1 and 2
The first two units aim to guide students in understanding and writing texts belonging to different text types. In particular, the morphosyntactic, lexical and textual characteristics of economic and scientific texts will be analysed. Textual and grammatical analysis will also aim at enhancing the appropriateness of discursive skills, with particular focus on argumentation and negotiation.

UNIT 3
The last part of the course will be devoted to an in-depth study of issues concerning contemporary Italian (linguistic sexism, dialectal resurgence, on line Italian, etc.) and its special languages. The methodology of the flipped classroom will be employed, through which oral production and interaction skills and textual mediation are to be strengthened.

Accompanying the course are 60 hours of exercises, which will take place both in semesters I and II. The exercises are aimed at deepening the contents exposed in class and at improving comprehension and production skills, both written and spoken; they are also designed to help in the study of the texts on the syllabus.

Students will be able to access the website Italian Language for Foreigners III, Ariel platform, for further in-depth studies and materials.
