Obiettivi

The course is based on a broad definition of the Intermediate Stage of the Common European Framework, Independent User, aimed at: understanding more complex speech used in the discussion of reasonably familiar topics; conversing with fluency and some spontaneity in every day situations; expressing and supporting views and opinions in discussion of these and other topics; contributing with greater independence to conversations relating to a range of topics of social and current interest; initiating, maintaining and influencing the direction of conversations on general and more abstract topics. Moreover, a part of the course aims at making them able to understand technical/scientific texts in the area of computer science and related disciplines.
