Università Roma Tre

In a European-oriented perspective, the course is structured as to allow the implementation of the students’ inter-cultural and linguistic competences, requiring on the side of the student to develop a professional-oriented awareness of the L2 learning and teaching modalities.
To foster the ability of recognizing and managing different text types, students will have to read and comment on different samples taken for representative texts of the British culture (XIX to XXI century).

* N.B.: All changing concerning the program or the lessons, or any other news will be posted on the teacher’s page on the Department website.

The Teacher meets the students at the end of classroom. For more information or further details, or to ask for an appointment, please contact the teacher via e-mail [raffaella.leproni@uniroma3.it].
