  Rifiuto del voto pubblicato su Esse3 Choice

  Closed: Tuesday, 15 October 2024, 2:00 PM
  
  Ho sostenuto la prova del modulo di Lingua inglese I - CIAPG il giorno 17 settembre 2024.
  Dopo aver preso visione del voto pubblicato su Esse3, di seguito dichiaro di voler rifiutare il voto. Il voto della prova verrà quindi annullato e non potrà essere fatto valere per la verbalizzazione del voto finale dell'esame di Lingua e traduzione inglese I - CIAPG.
  Sono consapevole del fatto che potrò sostenere nuovamente la prova nelle prossime sessioni d'esame.
  
  Attenzione: NON è possibile modificare la scelta.

  Syllabus - update Forum
  
  As promised, I'm sharing again the syllabus together with an update on podcasts.
  
  Based on your concerns, I selected only two episodes from The Inquiry.
  I'm about to share two separate files, each with:
  - a link to episode
  - the transcript to the introducing and concluding parts of the episode
  - explicit reference to timings of the four different parts of each episode
  - a list of key points you should focus on
  "Focus on" means: be able to concisely report on them in writing, selecting strictly relevant information and using appropriate language (terminology, collocations, connectors).
  
  The exam will consist of a more traditional part on language issues (see doc "language matters" for reference) and a writing part (a short paragraph on topics related to the podcasts).
  Please do not hesitate to contact me in case of further questions.
  Kind regards
  SC
