Italian

LANGUAGE
Learning Italian language in its social and cultural context and in a comparative and reflexive dimension.
By the end of this course, the student will be able to find their way in the complexity of the Italian linguistic repertoire and be aware of the relationship between Italian language and culture. S/he will acquire the critical tools to recognise and use the different codes and registers of contemporary Italian. S/he will attain level C1(CEFR).

THEORY

The study program changes every year and it is made available at the beginning of Semester 2. By the end of this year, the student will have an in-depth knowledge of an aspect of Italian culture and literature. S/he will be able to express their opinions and engage in a scientific debate on the chosen topic.

The course is divided into two parts: Italian Language (30 hours in Semester 1 and 30 hours in Semester 2) and Theory (15 hours in Semester 2).

LANGUAGE 
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).
On the basis of a set of literary texts, press articles, films, documentaries and singer-songwriter songs this course will look at certain stylistic and grammatical features specific to the Italian language.
Over the entirety of the course, students are expected to actively participate in lectures. The language of instruction is Italian.

Research paper
Students are expected to write a research paper (tesina) in Italian related to one of the course topics, to be agreed with their teacher, and accompanied by an indicative list of sources provided by the teacher and others to be selected by the students themselves.

Semester 1: a two-hour and a half written examination in January.
Semester 2: a written examination, including the Language and Theory parts as well as an individual oral examination (Language plus Theory) in June.
Semester 1 result is exclusively based on the Language part, while in Semester 2 the final result is the average of both Language and Theory parts.

In the event that part of the teaching may be carried out remotely, students will receive their instructions by Moodle. 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.

As for the Language Part (S1 and S2):
