FRENCH LANGUAGE LM II B - 28021-MOD2

The examination consists of 2 parts: 

Communication skills: To be admitted to the oral examination, students must have passed each of the written or oral tests to verify their level of competence (see Learning objectives). The tests are organised as follows: 1) Thème (translation from Italian into French); 2) Notes de synthèse. For a detailed description of these tests, please consult the AAL French Language C1+/C2 sheet on the Language Competence Centre pages. For details of the tests, please consult the Centre of Expertise in Languages pages: https://www.unibg.it/studia-noi/ti-aiutiamo/apprendimento-linguistico/fr... The final examination mark is calculated on the basis of the oral interview assessment for the two modules that make up the course. The achievement of the required level of communicative competence (C1+/C2) contributes to the grade.

Disciplinary skills: the examination mode will consist of an oral interview. Those who have taken the course are asked to present and present at the oral interview a thematic dossier in the specialized domains covered in class, or their choice. Namely, students will select 1 macro-domain (e.g. law, economics, pharmacology, etc.) and multiple texts to contextualise the terms for which a terminology sheet will be created as per the criteria seen in the lecture. The terms (as well as the texts) will be chosen from the corpus built with BootCat and analysed with SketchEngine. The questions will focus on the examination programme, the chosen domain, the criteria for selecting the terms and the construction of the term sheets.The presentation of the project will follow the analysis grid provided during the course. Individual or group work that contributes to the final assessment may be required. Non-attending students will be quizzed on the relevant literature.

Evaluation criteria

The assessment will take into account the level of acquisition of the knowledge and skills required for the course, in particular, linguistic correctness (lexical, morphosyntactic, pragmatic and phonological), terminological accuracy, the terminological accuracy, appropriateness to the required task and mastery of the tools of linguistic analysis and reflection.

 AAL tests count for one-third of the final grade. The oral examination grade, given by the average of the grade achieved in Module A and Module B, counts for two-thirds of the final grade.

Grades are given in thirtieths according to the following bands:

 Excellent (30 cum laude) - Knowledge and skills fully acquired and applied with

precision, effectiveness and autonomy. No errors.

 Very good (30-27) - Knowledge and skills very sound, applied correctly and with

confidence. Minor and non-recurring errors.

 Sufficient (23-18) - Basic knowledge and skills acquired but applied partially or

with evident errors. Sufficient general understanding.
