Course unit content

The course consists of a credit in the first year for an equivalent of about 8 hours of lectures and exercises, and a credit to the second year.
The 1st year of the program provides for the review of some linguistic and grammatical functions.
The starting level is B1 / B2 according to the Common European Framework (CEFR) decided by the Council of Europe and related to foreign languages (see form below).
Initially, an entrance test is conducted to assess the basic level of the students who will not be less than B1, since the curricular programs of lower secondary school and high foresee the study of that language.

The final exam consists of a written exam divided in verifying the skills of reading, listening and processing of grammar level B1 / B2 exercises.
