Teaching methods

³¢´¡±·³Ò±«´¡³Ò·¡Ìý:
Dr Ferrari is in charge of language courses. Classes are 2 hours per week (Semester 1 and Semester 2) and based on a hybrid methodology in which language teaching is combined with a cooperative and interactive learning in order to improve both the linguistic competence (grammar, vocabulary, syntax etc.) and productive ability (oral and written skills). Over the entirety of the course, students are expected to actively participate in lectures.

°Õ±á·¡°¿¸é³ÛÌý
Professor Nannicini is in charge of the Theory part. Lectures are 1 hour per week in Semester 2 and consist of frontal classes, delivered with the aid of Power Point, allowing however space for interaction and discussion. The languages of instruction are French and Italian.

Students’ active participation in these activities is strongly required. Any modification (contents, evaluation, schedule, and so forth) related to external circumstances (health situation, etc.) will be notified via Moodle.

Evaluation methods

The course is followed by a written exam in January (semester 1) lasting 1.5 hours, and a written exam which includes both parts, followed by an individual oral (also in both parts), in June (semester 2). The results of semester 1 are based exclusively on the Language part, while the results of semester 2 are the average of the Language part and the Theory part.
For the January session: the exam will be a 1.5-hour written exam.
For the June session and the August session:
Language section (prof. Ferrari): 2-hour written exam + 10/15-minute oral exam per student.
Theory section (prof. Nannicini): 30-minute written exam (at the same time as M. Ferrari's part) + 10/15-minute oral exam per student.
Please note: The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in written work or oral presentations will be penalised by a 0T (cheating) if it is contrary to scientific and academic integrity practices.
