Educational objectives The course aims to provide students with general knowledge of the French language and the contexts in the various continents where the language is used.
I. The monographic course aims to stimulate the ability to apply linguistic knowledge to the analysis of the communicative, sociolinguistic and historical-cultural contexts of French-speaking countries. These topics will be introduced through a variety of written and oral materials and documents in French in order to strengthen communicative competence and foster the ability to analyse.
II. Lecturer’s Course: provides the acquisition of knowledge and skills related to written and oral expression in French by means of the introduction and/or revision of phonetics and syntactic-linguistic structures: language production and skills will correspond to level B2+ of the CEFR in terms of comprehension (listening-reading, translation), speaking (oral production), writing (written production of dictations and simple texts). They enrol at A2 level for beginners.
Exchange and active student participation will be encouraged.

Educational objectives The course focuses on the development of the three main skills related to learning English as L2: speaking (oral production in real communicative situations), listening (comprehension of short oral texts and dialogues), reading (general understanding and details' understanding for different texts' contents). The review and consolidation of previously learned grammatical structures and the expansion of the vocabulary constitute two other fundamental course objectives. During the course students will be given the opportunity to listen to different accents through systematic listening. The course also aims to direct students towards a strategic use of the resources available to them (course book, grammar book and specialized websites, workbook, mono and bilingual vocabularies and resources tailored to the needs that will emerge during the course itself).
The official course is competed by language training classes, also addressed, albeit in different ways, to the development of the main skills related to learning English as a second language and based on the student's starting level.
The analysis of newpaper articles about political issues is also part of the course programme and will be presented by students orally.

Educational objectives The course aims to provide students with general knowledge of the Spanish language and the Spanish and Spanish-American contexts in which the language is used.

Educational objectives "German between Language, Culture and Society" is the title of this course (9 CFU), the objectives of which have a dual character:
(i) The educational objective of the monographic course is to promote the competence and sensitivity useful for adequately addressing the encounter with the German language and culture. Through the semantic analysis of culturally connoted or politically used words, we will study those values and codes that represent potential factors of misunderstanding between Italians and Germans. The work on the ability to mediate cultural aspects of the German-speaking world will go hand in hand with the lexical and grammatical expansion, obtained by developing the ability to read, understand and interpret texts.
(ii) The objective of the lectorship course (held by the linguistic expert and instructor Dott.ssa Violet Schlossarek), aims at the acquisition of language skills related to intermediate level B1 of the CEFR.
Attendance to both courses (monographic & lettorato) is strongly recommended. Non-attending students are required to agree on the study program with their respective teachers.
