The English course is designed to bolster the language comprehension of students so that they may matriculate into an English curriculum at Ca Foscari, which requires a B2 level English.
It is expected that students will have a greater understanding of the English language at the B2 level and above. The texts are designed for C1 level learning; however, the pace of the course is such that all students of various levels will be able to participate.
The Grades will consist of: 10% Attendance, 15% participation and assignments, 35% Midterm, 40% Final
B2 level of English is the base requirement but is not necessary for the comprehension of the material of the course as the course is taught at a slower pace than other B2 level courses in order to allow students below B2 level to participate and feel confident.
