Overview

Module aims and purpose

This module aims to develop the language skills of students who have already achieved A Level in聽Italian or equivalent. Students with an excellent AS Level qualification in Italian聽or equivalent may also be considered for this module.

Building on the work done at A level, this module aims to improve the students' knowledge of Italian language, at developing their comprehension skills and increasing their fluency in both written and spoken Italian. This course will also be an effective study and career tool for students who are not intending to continue with Italian after Part 1.

The course will provide the necessary basis for the study of Italian to Honours degree level.聽 Students who successfully complete this module will have achieved a level of competence in Italian聽comparable to level B1.2 / B2.1 of the Common European Framework of Reference.

Module learning outcomes

By the end of the module, it is expected that students will be able to:

  1. Demonstrate a good understanding of spoken and written Italian in a variety of different registers, as well as show familiarity with an appropriate range of Italian聽vocabulary and an ability to use it.
  2. Express themselves clearly and fluently in spoken and written Italian in both every day and more formal situations, especially those relating to their own experience.
  3. Demonstrate a good understanding and appropriate use of relevant grammatical rules and apply this knowledge in their understanding and use of Italian language.
  4. Actively reflect on their learning processes and preferences to independently develop appropriate strategies and relevant skills to ensure linguistic progression.

Module content

The course will focus on a variety of language exercises that will introduce students in the exploration and production of written and oral texts representing a range of genres and registers.聽

Classes will provide students with regular practice in free and guided writing in Italian, and in presenting and discussing in the foreign language. Classes will also offer the opportunity for students to explicitly analyse grammatical and syntactical features in Italian.

During the course, students will make good use of appropriate reference materials (e.g. dictionaries; online resources, self-study tools, etc.) and will develop an awareness of current issues in Italian speaking countries through the use of contemporary material.

The course will include a Language Skills component, which will allow students to focus on activities that promote and advance their awareness of language structures in general, and on the active exploration of ways of applying such awareness to the learning of聽Italian language.聽

Structure

Teaching and learning methods

A variety of methods and approaches are employed to facilitate effective language learning. Gradual but fast progression and in-depth study are ensured through guided work, both in and outside of class, with the support of teacher-led activities and tasks, a wide range of authentic and teacher-produced learning material, and a set textbook. Student-led activities are actively promoted and consistent use of the resources available in the library is strongly encouraged. The module will use a variety of strategies for teaching and learning, involving a mixture of group-work, class discussion and analysis, and independent work between sessions.

Study hours

At least 60 hours of scheduled teaching and learning activities will be delivered in person, with the remaining hours for scheduled and self-scheduled teaching and learning activities delivered either in person or online. You will receive further details about how these hours will be delivered before the start of the module.

  • the mark awarded due to the imposition of the penalty shall not fall below the threshold pass mark, namely 40% in the case of modules at Levels 4-6 (i.e. undergraduate modules for Parts 1-3) and 50% in the case of Level 7 modules offered as part of an Integrated Masters or taught postgraduate degree programme;
  • where the piece of work is awarded a mark below the threshold pass mark prior to any penalty being imposed, and is submitted up to three working days after the original deadline (or any formally agreed extension to the deadline), no penalty shall be imposed;
  • where the piece of work is submitted more than three working days after the original deadline (or any formally agreed extension to the deadline): a mark of zero will be recorded.
