The objective of the course is to acquire a communicative competence in the intermediate level of English, corresponding globally to the B1 / B2 level of the Common European Framework of Reference. Skills for this level are described on the CEFR website (see table on page 24 of https://rm.coe.int/1680459f97). Specialized knowledge will also be introduced with respect to English for Special Purposes (ESP) related to HR and the employment world.
At the end of the course the student:
- has become familiar with the basic concepts of linguistic and sociolinguistic dynamics implemented in work contexts (in particular in the HR sector)
- is able to consciously orient himself towards his own and others soft-skills, and to express the contents related to the construction of his own CV and experiential and lived baggage.

Curriculum
scheda docente
materiale didattico
The reading of different types of texts – intended to show students both the pedagogic models of the English culture and the specific jargon of their field of interest (HR and Social Sciences) – will allow the student to enrich his/her lexical and grammar-syntactical competences through constant exercise (pre-reading and post-reading activities, reading and listening comprehension), stimulating the students’ reflection and discussion on general-interest themes and providing useful topics for class-work both at written and oral level. The constant use of English in the classroom will be encouraged, also by the use of multimedia materials; students will be fostered to noticing the differences and similarities between L2 and L1 also by providing and analyzing different translations of the texts proposed.
- Linguistic aspects will be focused on as well; grammar texts with answer-keys and monolingual and bilingual dictionaries are suggested in bibliography. Online language exercises links will be suggested too.
*N.B.: Students belonging to DISSAIFE and SERSS previous courses MUST stick to this program; they will also follow the exam modalities prescribed for this year. Those who need to obtain 4, 5 or 10 CFU must contact the teacher to agree on their specific exam modalities.
* N.B.: All changing concerning the program or the lessons, or any other news will be posted on the teacher’s page on the Department website.
