Il corso consta di 6 crediti al primo anno del cds in Economia e Commercio, PERCORSO FINANZE, suddivisi in ore di lezioni frontali ed esercitazioni, divisi in 2 CFU per la lingua inglese e 4 CFU per l’inglese tecnico-scientifico.
Il livello di partenza sarà quello B1del Common European Framework (CEFR) per arrivare al B1 avanzato/B2
Il programma sarà improntato al ripasso delle funzioni linguistiche e delle strutture grammaticali e all’introduzione del linguaggio attinente alla microlingua tecnico-scientifica.
Per l’esame finale di lingua inglese, gli studenti dovranno infatti, sostenere un esame scritto* suddiviso nella verifica delle abilità di reading and writing e di elaborazione di esercizi di grammatica, ed una performance orale dove con fluency ed accuracy il candidato riferirà di argomenti economici e non trattati nel corso.
*il test scritto è suscettibile di abolizione qualora le lezioni fossero tenute in blended o in dad
Il programma sarà adeguato alle conoscenze e competenze acquisite dagli studenti nel corso dei loro studi scolastici e verificate durante le prime lezioni con un ‘entry test’.

Al fine di sviluppare la capacità di codificare un testo scritto o orale di lingua inglese base o settoriale, il corso fornirà gli strumenti per una ottimale decodifica degli stessi attraverso la factual text analysis (analisi di un testo non letterario) su argomenti economici. A tal proposito si rimanda al materiale indicato di seguito:

La parte relativa all’inglese tecnico-scientifico mira a far acquisire agli studenti una conoscenza di base dell’inglese economico attraverso letture mirate ed esercizi sui prefissi e suffissi, phrasal verbs, compound nouns, acronyms e le differenze grammaticali, di pronuncia e di spelling tra il British English e l’American English non solo nello spelling, pronunciation ma soprattutto lessicali di base e specialistico in campo economico.
Particolare attenzione sarà data ai processi di nominalizzazione (preferenza sull’uso di un nome, anziché di un verbo per esprimere le azioni e i concetti), passivizzazione (uso frequente del passivo), spostamento a sinistra nella costruzione delle frasi con abolizione delle relative (sinteticità espressiva), così caratteristici dell’inglese tecnico-scientifico ed evidenziati da insigni studiosi della materia.
Pertanto le letture di carattere esclusivamente economico saranno tutte quelle contenute nelle units del testo di Graham Tullis, Tonya Trappe, Intelligent Business, intermediate level- solo students’ book – Longman-Person
