3.7.4 Summer courses

During the summer, Italian L2 intensive courses will be organized for students from foreign Universities. The aim of the lessons is to increase students knowledge of the Italian language and contemporary culture using various stimuli and techniques, and above all, to improve the students abilities of expression and comprehension within the context of the university and the Verona area.

3.7.5 Italian L2 Frequently Asked Questions

Can I attend more than one Italian course (ie.two courses of different levels) during the same semester? During the same semester students can only attend the lessons of one level; the level which has been decided on by the placement or entry test. However, after having spoken to the teachers, students may attend single parts of a course of a different level: for example, the grammar or the conversation part, according to individual needs and/or problems.

I have a certificate of language competence from another University or certified body: Can I attend a course of the following level without having to take the placement test? You can attend the course of the following level. However, if you got your certificate more than a year ago, we suggest that you do the placement test anyway in order to check your current knowledge of Italian. Remember that you learn more by attending a course of a slightly lower level than one of a higher level!

The scores I got in the placement test do not reflect my real knowledge of the language, I would like to attend a different level: what can I do? You can speak to the teacher: by speaking to you, the teacher can evaluate your real language level.

68

I am a foreign student enrolled at the University of Verona. Can I take the Italian L2 tests and obtain a final certification? Yes, in the same way as the Erasmus students and OUTSIDE users.

Do the Italian tests taken at the C.L.A. give credits (= C.F.U. = E.C.T.S)? Yes, they do. Taking your record of attendance into account, 3 C.F.U. will be given for the A2 certificate and 4 C.F.U. will be given for the B1-B2-C1 certificates. However, the recognition of these credits depends on your University of origin. Please note that the CLA certifications do not count directly towards any CFU credits. Credits may only be awarded by the Boards of the Degree Courses.

FINAL ITALIAN L2 TESTS

What does the test consist of? COMPUTER TEST: there are four parts (listening comprehension, reading comprehension, cloze test and grammar exercise) to be completed on the computer in 55 minutes. WRITTEN TEST: composition following a given track to be written with the computer in 55 minutes. ORAL TEST: it is an oral with the Italian L2 teacher (C.E.L.) according to the modalities decided for each level.

Can I take more than one test at the end of one semester (ie can I get a certificate for more than one level)? During each test session you can only take the test for one level: if you pass this test, you can take the test for the following level in the next test session. If you dont pass this test, you can try it again in the following test session.

An example of the final tests for each level can be downloaded from the Italian L2 website:

5.1 CLA as TOEFL iBT official examination centre

Courses which prepares for the TOEFL EXAMINATIONS + TOEFL iBT Test

The Language Centre organizes courses, both in the first and the second semester, which prepare for the TOEFL exam. They last 60 hours (lessons: 40 hours + self-learning: 20 hours) and are open to internal and outside users (for charges see this guide, part 2, paragraphs 2.7.1 and 2.7.2).

The University of Verona has been a TOEFL Test Administration Center since April 2007. The TOEFL test is the most widely respected English-language test in the world, recognized by more than 7,500 colleges, universities and agencies in more than 130 countries. Wherever you want to study, the TOEFL test can help you get there (TOEFL ETS web-site).

The TOEFL exam is not a substitute for any of the CLA certifications, but it is generally required for postgraduate studies at US and Australian Universities. It is run by the Educational Testing Service (ETS) and is supplied in the new iBT (Internet-Based Testing) version. The test lasts approximately 4 hours and 30 minutes and is marked with a progressive score from 0 to 120, which reflects the level of language competence. There are four sections: listening, reading, speaking and writing.

For information about the exam dates visit the CLA Web site: http://fermi.univr.it/cla/attivit/TOEFL%20iBT%20Test.htm

5.1.1 Structure of the TOEFL iBT

The TOEFL iBT is done entirely on the computer. It is divided into 4 parts: Reading, Listening, Speaking and Writing (see the table below):

Test Section Number of Questions Timing Reading 3-5 passages, 12-14 questions each 60-100

minutes Listening 4-6 lectures, 6 questions each

2-3 conversations, 5 questions each 60-90 minutes

BREAK 10 minutes Speaking 6 tasks: 2 independent and 4 integrated 20 minutes Writing 1 integrated task
