Dear Students,
I’m sending you this collective email through Moodle to invite you to come to the Lettorato or “Corso Base” this year on Wednesday mornings from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., starting tomorrow, 9 October.
The course is open to all students but, in particular, 2nd-year students because you have no English exam this year but next year will. It offers the opportunity to practice and develop especially listening and speaking skills (but also reading and writing skills and grammar whenever necessary). The level is intermediate, from low to high (but if you are a near beginner, please come in any case). A basic outline of the Lettorato/Corso Base is as follows:
Listening:
Practice and learning how to listen.
Speaking:
Practice in small groups + pairs to improve skills and prepare for the exam. Additional focus on language form, pronunciation and intonation.
I cannot stress enough that a language is acquired through using and studying it regularly and in time. Please feel free to come all semester or even occasionally when you can.
Hope to see you soon,
Your English Language Teacher/Professor
Anna Csaki
