OBJECTIVES

The main objective of this course is to encourage the recognition, the understanding and the application of functions and communicative structures by means of the acquisition of the four basic abilities: writing/reading comprehension/production.

The continuous attention on the language as an assembly of linguistic acts with different functions and purposes will be concretely exercised by means of texts comprehension and production (dialogues, readings, abstracts, etc.) both on written and oral.

The language reflection, especially regarding the phonetics, the orthography and the morphosyntactic structures of the second language (also in contrast with those of the first language) will help the student to refine the linguistic observation and to develop the logic abilities both inductive and deductive.

Moreover the objective of this course is to offer the necessary instruments for a first direct comparison between the own culture and other cultures, also by means of the lexicon and phraseology study.
