Learning outcomes

The aims of this course are to enable students to develop and consolidate the understanding of the syntactic and lexical-semantic aspects and of the elements of textual cohesion and coherence of contemporary English, with a special attention to the varieties of tourism texts. C1 level (listening comprehension and reading comprehension) is a prerequisite for the course.

Program

The programme will explore the following aspects:
1. Syntax
- main definitions, sentence analysis
- Words, Word Classes and Phrases
- Clauses and Sentences

2. Semantics
- main definitions, words and their meaning
- The Structure of the English Lexicon
- Levels of meanings

3. Use of English
- text, co-text and context
- pragmatics: main definitions
- conversational maxims and violations
- direct and indirect speech acts

The present list will be constantly updated. The final version will be available at the end of the course. Materials used during the lessons (slides) will be made available on the Moodle Platform.
The contents of the exam are the same for attending and non-attending students.
Students who are not able to attend lessons are invited to contact the instructor to obtain the password to access the Moodle area.

Written exam:
Open and closed questions on the topics of the course.

The written test will include a number of questions focusing on the topics covered during the course: multiple choice questions and open-ended questions will be included. The former will evaluate students’ theoretical knowledge; the latter will evaluate students’ ability to apply their knowledge in the analysis of texts.
During the last class students will have the opportunity to perform a mock exam.

The final grade of the exam will be the average of the grade of the written exam and the grade obtained in the CLA computer test. The latter will be converted into /30 according to the CLA conversion table.
