The course will prepare students for the Reading, Listening and Speaking parts of the IELTS (Academic) exam, and for writing summaries. Students will be encouraged to actively participate in lessons in order to practise their English and become able to understand and communicate in English in a more natural way.
Prerequisiti
None, although students with a level below B1 (QCER) will need extra time to practise and prepare for the exam.
Metodi didattici
Lessons with the course teacher at a B1/B2 level and optional lessons at a basic level with the course language assistant (addestratore linguistico). Students will attend all lessons in the classroom. The teaching method focuses on developing practical skills rather than theoretical knowledge. The interactive lessons will aim to improve comprehension of spoken English and encourage students to put their spoken English into practice in a more natural way.
Verifica Apprendimento
The English exam will be similar to an Academic IELTS exam. Writing test: half an IELTS listening exam, a shorter version of the IELTS reading exam (2 texts instead of 3) and a modified writing exam (a summary of one of the reading texts in 150-180 words). Speaking test: a shorter IELTS speaking exam (parts 1 and 2)

Contenuti
The main programme is based on some of the contents of the IELTS course book "Expert IELTS 6" (see reference text): the modules about Science and the Natural World. The teacher will also provide students with interactive practice material that focuses on the differences between Italian and English. They will be encouraged to use this practice material as well as the rest of the course book between lessons to improve their English level. Students will also be given the opportunity to participate in lessons with the language assistant (addestratore linguistico) that will especially support low-level students.
