Teaching Methods

The teaching methodologies adopted consist of teaching sessions, aimed at the theoretical exposition of course contents and at a critical approach to the language, in which students are encouraged to participate actively.
As far as continuous evaluation is concerned, the following parameters will be taken into account: attendance to class; participation and homework; an oral examination; a written exam.
Students can also choose to take a final exam: an oral examination (40%) and a written exam (60%). The minimum grade for both is 8.
