LEPRONI RAFFAELLA
(syllabus)
The reading of different types of narrative texts will allow the student to enrich his/her lexical and grammar-syntactical competences through constant exercise (pre-reading and post-reading activities, reading and listening comprehension), stimulating the students’ reflection and discussion on general-interest themes and providing useful topics for class-work both at written and oral level. In particular, the course will focus on bullying attitudes, through the analysis of some of the first text dealing with the phenomenon in the UK.
* N.B.: Due to the particular modality of the exam and to the learning needs in terms of time, the student will be allowed to undertake the test only once per exam session.
* 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.

(syllabus)
Course main features: - This course is meant to provide a cultural analysis of the texts studied. A first text (Andrea Binelli’s) deals with materials concerning a reflection on English and Englishes and a study of the language itself. The texts provided on the web focus on representative historical and meta linguistic analysis on the development and importance of a language for a consequent cultural and social development of a country. Students will have to deal with these texts in order to read, understand and interpret them from a linguistic, sociological, historical and cultural point of view. - Lessons will be held in English and in Italian. Activities such as cloze tests, reading / comprehension and listening / comprehension exercises will be part of the course. Authentic materials will be used in order to provide different models of the use of English. - The books indicated in bibliography provide a fundamental reference for a general revision of English morphological and syntactic structures. The study of a grammar book corresponding to B1 / B2 level is highly recommended.
