Examination Methods
Prerequisite: B2 proficiency in English (Council of Europe). To take the exam, students need to have passed English Level B2. The certification can be obtained either from the Language Centre (CLA) or from another certified language institute (see CLA site). For certificates gained at external organisations, students are required to get a 'certificato di equipollenza' issued by the CLA to attest the validity of the external certificate.
The exam aims at evaluating:
- knowledge and understanding of the topics in the syllabus
- ability to make linguistic analyses at both the phonetic-phonological and morphological levels
- metalinguistic awareness
Contents: the whole range of topics listed in the syllabus.
Assessment: written exam consisting of 30 items including open questions, multiple choice questions, phonetic/phonological transcriptions, and further practical exercises relating to the topics listed in the syllabus. During the last class students will have the opportunity to perform a mock exam. The mock exam will also be available on Moodle at the end of the course. The exam lasts 1 hour.
Evaluation: the final mark is calculated as the average between the mark awarded for the written exam (50%) and the mark for the complete B2 test, to be converted according to the CLA tables (50%).
Exam contents and format are the same for attending and non-attending students.
