The course is delivered mainly in English (B1-B2 level), with some explanations in Italian. Classwork will be based on:
- short dialogues where students are invited to speak about their personal life and environment, and their expectations for their future profession.
- reading out loud and translation (if needed) of selected files, in order to widen the students' vocabulary and competence in techical subjects. The same files propel discussion and dialogues among the students.
- analysis of videos, shown in class and relevant to selected professional topics.

E- Learning: students are invited to find, download and study some texts on-line or to view videos and web-sites suggested in class.
