The 12 sessions of face to face presentations will present technical and specific vocabulary related to Sports Science as well as language structures and phrases that are commonly used in the field, and analysis of technical / scientific texts from which field-specific lexis will be extrapolated and examined. Learning assessment procedures
- The final exam will focus both on the grammar part and the lexis/structures part and will consist of 15 questions relating to the grammar points studied in the recorded online lessons and 16 questions relating to the topics covered in the face to face ESP lessons.
Each question is worth one point, and leaving the answer blank counts as a mistake in the same way as an incorrect answer.
The score in “trentesimi” is calculated by adding up the total number of correct answers given. Reference texts
