Objectives
The aim of the course is to implement basic knowledge for reading and understanding the English language at level B2 of the common European framework of reference (CEFR), so that the student can read, understand and discuss scientific literature in English, write simple texts and communicate in English.

Upon passing the end-of-course exam, the student will have acquired adequate knowledge and understanding of the foreign language in its linguistic structures, in particular phonetics, morphosyntax and lexicon; consequently, considerable mastery of the four skills necessary for correct communication in English-speaking environments will be obtained. At the end of the course, the student will therefore possess linguistic and cultural competence relating to the English language at level B2.
The student will be able to recognize and analyze different text typologies from a linguistic perspective, and in turn develop texts relevant to their disciplinary area with high accuracy in grammatical terms, respecting the norms and style of the English language. Furthermore, he will be able to apply this knowledge to formal and informal situational contexts, making use of various more or less complex morpho-syntactic structures and demonstrating the ability to work independently or in a group.

The student, through the knowledge acquired, will be able to produce accurate metalinguistic reflections and coherent self-evaluations of texts relating to their field of study. The critical and interpretative ability will be proportional to the level of knowledge and competence acquired, therefore such as to allow the student to collect and select data and recognize its relevance on socio-cultural current affairs relating to the English language, also in an intercultural perspective

The student will be able to effectively and correctly convey general data and particular knowledge of their field of study through more or less complex syntactic structures, will possess adequate skills for communicating concepts and information relating to their field of study in English, in written and oral form, or mediated by IT tools or in first person in international and/or intercultural contexts. The student will also be able to express ideas, personal judgments and negative and positive aspects of topics outside of their fields of study, modulating the linguistic register based on the context.
The student will be able to acquire the tools to develop a foreign language learning methodology that allows him to expand and update his knowledge independently, also making use of traditional bibliographic tools, specialized texts, IT aids and multimedia material
