LINGUA E TRADUZIONE-LINGUA INGLESE
(objectives)
The English Language and Translation Course for the first year of the degree course in Political Science and International Relations - for the Army Program - follows the suggestions contained in the SMD_FORM -004, the Directive for the assessment and certification of the language skills in the Military field, which, in turn, complies with the provisions regarding the standardization of the evaluation of the army language skills, following the STANAG 6001 revision (4th ed.). Therefore, it caters to students who already have basic knowledge of English and is aimed at developing specific skills at a pre-intermediate level (1 + / 2 Stanag level respectively) for active and passive skills in Military English. The course will focus on the development of reading and writing skills pertaining to communicative and specialist texts. At the end of the course, students will be able to give, ask and understand personal information, ask and answer questions about the work, tasks, and daily activities inside and outside of a military base as well as to report on past personal and professional life experiences. Although these skills won't be tasted during the final exam, their development won't be neglected during the course since language competence cannot be improved without an integrated and harmonious development of all the language skills
