From: Anna Csaki, English Language Teacher/Professor
Dear Students,
I would like to invite you to join me at the Lettorato (or Corso Base) this year and explain why this is important. The course is annual and, in the 1st semester, will be held on Thursday afternoons in person from 2-3 p.m., starting on 14 October.
The course is open to all students of Education. It offers the opportunity to practice and develop listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills, and grammar when 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 (or Corso Base) is as follows:
Listening:
Practice from online sources, teaching material, and other.
Speaking:
Small group + pair work to improve skills.
Reading:
Focus on language structure and form, pronunciation, and intonation.
Writing:
Emails, letters, paragraphs, notes, memos, and other.
As you know, a language is acquired through using and studying itregularly. This is an opportunity to do both.
