No specific linguistic requisite is required. Personal competences in interacting in English (level normally acquired by the end of the Italian high school) will allow students to learn new topics and morpho-syntactic structures easier. (if any of the participants is a beginner, please contact me before the beginning or during the first week of lessons).
Students will acquire/improve their ability to understand both written and oral scientific texts. Particular attention will be given to the lexical, syntactic and pragmatic aspects of Scientific English. Lectures will include lexical work, practical exercises, interactive activities and the analysis of scientific materials.
- Grammar Revision (basic syntactic and morphological structures and verb system) -bIntroducing medical terminology - Approaching scientific texts
Resources and materials will be given during the lessons. Further information on scientific literature will be provided during the course.
