General Prerequisites
The Italian language course in level C1/C2, structured towards a unique linguistic-cultural direction, aims at putting the students in a position to master all varieties and registers of the language both orally and in writing, thus expressingthemselves precisely and fluently. At the end of the course the students must prove that they possess a good linguistic competence and a sufficient metalinguistic competence, which should allow them to describe the principal traits of the morphology and syntax of the contemporary Italian language. They should moreover be able to apply the pragmatic rules that preside the use of the language and those stylistic ones to which their creative and poetic work is submitted. Therefore, when entering the course, the knowledge of the basic structures of the morphology of the Italian language is taken for granted.

Student Assessment
Description
During the semester, two progresses are being made to evaluate written comprehension, linguistic competence and writing (mid-term evaluation). At the end of each semester the students are evaluated verbally and if they succeed then they are examined and written. Final written examinations are in the same form as progress. The course is the first of the four Italian language courses and is given to first year students during the winter semester. The course combines the development and expansion of the linguistic and communicative skills necessary for daily communication with the gradual introduction of language elements for study purposes.
