ESONERI & ESAMI
Now that we have got the 'esoneri' out of the way for both the 3rd year and for the 'specialistica', we can concentrate on the oral examination.
Students who get 18/30 or more may take the oral exam**. The exam results will appear here as soon as possible.
The dates for the oral exams for students of my course only are as follows:
3rd year: 30/V @ 09.00; 04/VI @ 09.00; 13/VI @ 09.00; 20/VI @ 09.00.
Specialistica: 28/V @ 09.00; 21/VI @ 09.00.
During the oral examination you may be asked about grammar problems arising from your written paper. You should prepare the rest of the exam as follows.
3rd year: an oral analysis of EITHER two newspaper articles (one from a tabloid, one from a broadsheet), both of the same date and about the same news topic, OR an analysis of the language of an advertisement taken from an actual printed newspaper or magazine. In neither case may you use material from other courses you have attended, and if a newspaper is used it should be from a date during the SEVEN DAYS PRECEDING YOUR ORAL EXAM; if an advertisement, it should be the ACTUAL COPY OF THE ADVERT from the magazine, with a photocopy for the examiner.
Specialistica: an oral analysis of EITHER two newspaper articles (one from a tabloid, one from a broadsheet), both of the same date and about the same news topic, OR an analysis of a political speech you may have found on the internet, but not one which has been discussed by one of your teachers. In neither case may you use material from other courses you have attended, and if a newspaper is used it should be from a date during the SEVEN DAYS PRECEDING YOUR ORAL EXAM; if a political speech, then please bring the print-out from your computer with evidence of where it came from.
Please write to me at wilsonsapienza@blogspot.com to enrol for the oral exam on one of those dates. I shall inform you on the blog when they are full.
**N.B. Any student who does not get a minimum of 18 is strongly advised not to take the examination on 6th as a 'non-frequentante' since his or her level of English is unlikely to improve sufficiently within a few days, and it will be a waste of time all round. Similarly, a student who is unhappy with the mark in the 'esonero' and decides to try to improve it in the official examination is also unlikely to improve in the same few days and in any case, the moment the student decides to take the examination, the 'esonero' is no longer valid, even if that mark is higher than that of a subsequent examination. Students with low marks are advised to study over a substantial period before attempting the exam again.
