Academic Year 2024/2025

Course contents

Conversation lessons and excercises regarding text and audio fragments studied at home (“flipped classroom” method) to stimulate debating skills (express ad argument preferences and opinions) in formal and non formal situations (society, politics, education) and consilidate the more basic communicative skills learned in the first year. Specific goals are to enrichen concrete and abstract vocabulary through studying authentic material, use subordinate phrases confidently, improve the ability to use the non-intuitive grammatical elements that differ the most from the Italian language like the construction “er+preposition”, the present conditional tense, and the elements that express modality, and acquire the typical prosody of the spoken language.
