Type of delivery of the course

The course will be carried out online on the platform of SDE online. The contents will be provided in three teaching units; each unit will deal with language issues, according to a logical progression, and a part of the scheduled text. Each of the teaching units will offer slides, podcasts and videos useful for developing the topics and strengthening what has been learned in the form of self-learning and self-evaluation. The student can contact the Teacher and the tutor of reference for any doubt or for additional explanations. It will also be provided materials and links useful for studying and deepening the content, indication of exercises with explanations and corrections online, audio podcast for repeated listening to the complete reading of the text in the program.

Attendance

The course must be followed regularly and according to the scheduled teaching time for SDE online. This is important in order to acquire a correct assimilation of the contents, to be able to usefully communicate with the tutor and the teacher, to be able to carry out with the right attention the exercises for learning the foreign language and the repeated listening of the audio podcasts.

Type of evaluation

The exam will be organized with multiple-choice questions and open-ended answers. The questions will concern written or audio comprehension of the text and knowledge of the language topics in the study plan. The open-ended answers will evaluate the understanding of the text, the ability to deepen (in this case the answers can be given, in some cases and if indicated, also in Italian) and the ability to rework some content in French. It is recommended to pay particular attention to the development of open-ended answers, because they allow the teacher a full evaluation of the student with greater flexibility than the automatic calculation of the score made by the computer system.
