| COURSE TITLE: ENGLISH FOR CULTURAL HERITAGE THE COURSE IS DIVIDED INTO TWO MODULES. THE FIRST MODULE FOCUSES ON ENGLISH PHONETICS AND PRONUNCIATION, WITH PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO SEGMENTAL FEATURES (INDIVIDUAL SOUNDS) AND SUPRASEGMENTAL FEATURES (INTONATION, STRESS, RHYTHM), WHICH ARE ESSENTIAL FOR EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION. THE SECOND MODULE IS DEDICATED TO DEVELOPING READING, TEXT COMPREHENSION, AND LANGUAGE PRODUCTION SKILLS RELATED TO THE SPECIALISED VOCABULARY OF CULTURAL HERITAGE, THROUGH THE ANALYSIS OF A RANGE OF AUTHENTIC TEXTS DRAWN FROM BOOKS, NEWSPAPERS, MAGAZINES, JOURNALS, AND WEBSITES. |

| THE EXAM CONSISTS OF A WRITTEN TEST AND AN ORAL TEST. THE WRITTEN TEST INCLUDES LISTENING AND COMPREHENSION EXERCISES BASED ON A MONOLOGUE AND/OR DIALOGUE, AS WELL AS THE COMPREHENSION AND ANALYSIS OF A SPECIALIST TEXT RELATED TO THE HISTORY AND CRITICISM OF ART. THE ORAL EXAM WILL CONSIST OF A BRIEF PRESENTATION ON TOPICS ALIGNED WITH THE STUDENT’S ACADEMIC PATHWAY. MIDTERM ASSESSMENTS MAY ALSO BE SCHEDULED. THE WRITTEN TEST IS A PREREQUISITE FOR THE ORAL EXAM, AND ITS RESULT DOES NOT IN ANY WAY CONSTITUTE A STARTING POINT FOR THE FINAL GRADE. ACHIEVEMENT OF THE LEARNING OBJECTIVES IS CERTIFIED BY PASSING THE EXAM, WITH A FINAL MARK EXPRESSED ON A THIRTY-POINT SCALE. MARKS BELOW 18 WILL BE CONSIDERED INSUFFICIENT AND INDICATIVE OF UNMET LEARNING OUTCOMES. |
