Teaching methods
RUSSIAN LANGUAGE III:
The activities will take place in telepresence through the use of the Teams and Elly platforms. In particular, lessons will be held in both synchronous (via Teams) and asynchronous mode (uploaded on the Elly page of the course). During the lessons in synchronous mode (direct), mainly frontal moments will alternate with interactive moments with the students. The course also includes a self-learning course and a language laboratory with materials selected by the Russian teacher. The course will be accompanied by exercises held by collaborators and linguistic experts of annual duration.
• Students who do not attend classes (especially if they are Russian) should contact the teacher.
SLAVIC PHILOLOGY:
Lectures. Active participation Will still be required in reading and interpreting documents and
texts.If, due to the persistence of the health emergency, it will be necessary to integrate the lessons with remote mode, they will take place in telepresence on Teams and Elly platforms.
Assessment methods and criteria
The written exam is preparatory to the oral exam:
The written exam includes:
- grammar test (dictionary not allowed);
- audio test(dictionary not allowed) .
- Russian-Italian translation (bilingual dictionary allowed).
Oral
The oral exam involves the reading, translation, summary and lexical-grammatical commentary of texts in order to verify the student's theoretical knowledge, as well as conversation on readings and topics covered during the lessons. For the comprehension test the teacher can use both material used during the course and that prepared independently by the student.
If, due to the persistence of the health emergency, it is necessary to integrate the conduct of the exams with the remote modality, proceed as follows:
• Written exam (remote, via Teams and Elly): structured as above;
• Oral exam (remote, via Teams), on the course program and on materials shared by the teacher.
insufficient evaluation is determined by the lack of knowledge of the minimum contents of the course, by the inability to express themselves in a Russian corresponding to the B1 ++ level; A sufficient evaluation (18-23 / 30) is determined by the student's demonstration of having learned the fundamental contents of the course; the ability to express oneself in a Russian about a topic presenting some characteristics of the B1 ++ level; from a sufficient level for an autonomous preparation, the ability to solve problems related to the retrieval of information and to the decoding of complex texts, as well as the formulation of independent judgments. The average scores (24-27 / 30) are awarded to the student who proves to have a level that is more than sufficient (24-25 / 30) or good (26-27 / 30) of the above evaluation indicators. The highest scores (from 28/30 to 30/30 and honors) are awarded on an excellent level of the above evaluation indicators.
