Course Objectives
Starting from theoretical reflections on linguistic phenomena, this course
aims to study peculiarities of the Russian language system. The course
aims to bring students who already possess basic morphosyntactic
language knowledge to a level of linguistic competence comparable to
that of A2-B1 (Предпороговый / Waystage- Пороговый / Threshold).
EXPECTED LEARNING RESULTS
At the end of the course, the student will be able to:
1. produce clear and detailed texts on a wide range of topics and express personal opinions according to the conventions specific to the genre (at level A2-B1);
2. recognize main morphosyntactic, lexical and textual characteristics of different registers;
3. recognize and understand stylistically connoted oral texts;
4. master lexicographical tools in print and online (dictionaries, lexicons).

Teaching Methods
The course will be delivered through lectures that will use Power-Point
presentations, which will then be uploaded to the course folder on the
ELearning platform.
It will be complemented by interactive language exercises held by
linguistic experts, aimed at consolidating and expanding communication
in the four skills. The subject of the laboratory lessons are: reading,
writing and listening exercises; grammar exercises; expansion of the
lexicon; practice in oral production (dialogical and monological).
Frequency of the laboratory lessons is mandatory and is part of the
overall time commitment. Students will have to carry out self-study
activities, which will be verified in the classroom. At the language
laboratories, the sharing of acquired skills will be enacouraged with the
purpose of training for mutual collaboration and comparison. There will
be tests to check the skills acquired.
Students will also have access to a wide range of resources for deepening
and strengthening knowledge of material learned in the self-access
language laboratory.

Assessment Methods
The final exam is aimed at evaluating various linguistic skills (including written/oral comprehension and written/oral expression), in harmony with the descriptors developed by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (2001).
It consists of a written test and an oral test. The written test is preparatory to the oral test.
For the written test, the extensive production of a text such as a letter or short composition will not be required, but exercises will have to be completed that include various types of morphosyntactic-lexical tests based on the programme of the morphosyntax lessons. There will be no multiple-choice tests. The written test will evaluate spelling and grammatical correctness, expressive propriety and the ability to understand Russian. The use of the Russian-Italian-Russian paper dictionary or the Russian monolingual dictionary will be permitted. The oral exam will consist of a part in Russian on the conversation topics covered during the Exercises and a part in Italian (or Russian, at the student's choice) on the morphosyntax lessons. All presentations of the morphosyntax lessons are available in the relative folder on the courses' ELearning platform. Each of the tests is considered passed if evaluated with a result equal to or higher than 18/30.
