Course information

Contents
The course is structured in accordance with the CEFR descriptors for level B2 and focuses on the development of independent and articulate language competence, suitable for complex educational and professional contexts.
In particular, the course allows you to:

• expand and accurately use general and specific vocabulary (work, administrative, and educational fields);

• understand articulate and complex written texts, both of a concrete and abstract nature;

• improve conversation skills, fluency, and the correctness of pronunciation;

• understand extended oral contributions, lectures, presentations, and discussions, even when not strictly related to your own field of specialization;

• Write formal and informal texts (professional emails, letters, short argumentative texts, reports);

• consolidate intermediate and advanced grammatical structures;

• develop independent learning strategies and techniques.

The module enables you to reach and consolidate the first part of level B2 (B2.1) according to the CEFR.
Goals
Consolidate and expand mastery of the Italian language in order to participate actively, consciously, and independently in social, educational, and professional life in Switzerland, reaching a level of communicative competence according to the CEFR.

The course integrates multidisciplinary topics related to basic skills in the humanities and sciences, promoting the development of transversal skills such as critical analysis, processing and synthesizing information, and the conscious use of language in different contexts. Particular attention is paid to the understanding, analysis, and handling of various text genres (argumentative, expository, informative, regulatory) and the application of disciplinary skills in concrete and realistic situations.

The course can also serve as preparation for certification exams recognized by the migration office, such as the fide exams (State Secretariat for Migration) and the CELI certification from the University for Foreigners of Perugia.
