(with apologies to baloocartoons.com for filching their image)

N.B. This post will be updated as and when necessary. Exam results will also be posted here in the relative sections.

REGISTRATION OF EXAMS OF LINGUA INGLESE
(Plescia & Wilson II year)

Please note: I shall be registering 2nd year lingua exams for Prof Plescia while she is on leave. Those will be exclusively exams for which the Lingua part and the Lettorato part have been passed, so that the mark and number of credits will be combined.

STUDENTS MUST ENROL FOR THESE SESSIONS ON INFOSTUD. DETAILS ARE THERE ALREADY. THE DATES ARE:
22/06/2011
30/06/2011
06/07/2011
13/07/2011 (After this date there will be no appello until September)

Vecchio Ordinamento (Laurea quadriennale).
Results of the written examination:
III year: PERAIZZA, Valeria, 966125 - discreto
IV year: LAMANNA, Teresa, 975526 - sufficiente
(Prof. Martino has the verbale)

II year laura magistrale 2010-11 (lettorato).

WRITTEN EXAM:
The Esonero for those who attended the course will take place as agreed within the course.
The written exam for all others will take place during the week starting 6th June. It will be a grammar test at Proficiency (C2) level. There will be a section devoted to putting sentences written in Italian into good and fluent English (Pudney still has useful lessons, even at this level). Then there will be a section devoted to grammar exercises of the kind found in any book for proficiency-level students, for example Millington-Ward's Practice in the Use of English (1975), which is available in the dept (warning, there is no key for this book, so I recommend finding any other C2 level book with a key, if you are studying alone).
ORAL EXAM:
This will also be in two parts. 1) Choose and learn by memory any poem of at least 14 lines (EXCEPT lyrics to popular songs, which will not be accepted). This will be recited with good pronunciation during the exam (bring a copy for the examiner) and the candidate will be asked questions about it and be expected to be able to converse on the topic. 2) The candidate will be asked to explain in simple, clear and correct English precisely how to perform a simple task, like, for example, making an omelette, sewing a button onto a shirt, etc. No previous warning will be given about the nature of these tasks. This will test the candidate's ordinary ability to speak comprehensible English.

Those who did not pass the exam may come and see their papers in ricevimento after exam week.
Those who are dissatisfied with the result and are perhaps considering a resit are reminded that it is the most recent mark which is valid, even if this is a fail ( in other words, if someone gets 19/30 in the esonero and then takes the exam and get 16/30, which is not a pass mark, the candidate fails the exam).

Oral part of the exam: These are the dates for the oral part of the examination (instructions above). Mon. 13/VI/11 @ 09.00: RAFFAELI, VOTANO, MARTINEZ; Wed. 15/VI/11 @ 09.00: SERRA, CAPODILUPO, MENCHI; Mon. 20/V/11 @ 09.00: COLUZZI, MINOTTI, BRESSI, SCOGNAMIGLIO, LOGLISCI, ROSSI C, MALDARELLI, IMBRIANO; Wed. 22/VI/11 @ 09.00: TORRE, DI LORETO, VOLPE, SMAREGLIA, ALLEGRUCCI, ROSSI M, DE MARTINIS, DI PIETRO, GIOIA, BATTISTI (only one more place here). These are the valid dates for the time being, though others may be added later. To enrol for this part you must write me an email (wilsonsapienza@libero.it) to which I shall reply and add your name to the list here. When there are enough for any one day I shall close the list for that day.

III year lettorato exam.

Students are reminded that any student who takes an examination immediately forfeits any previous marks. It is always the last mark which is valid.
As in recent years the examination will be in two parts. The first part will be a vocabulary and grammar examination which will take the form of putting sentences or passages in Italian into correct English. No dictionaries will be allowed. Students are not required to do a literal translation, much less a word for word translation. They are required to give the meaning of the Italian original in fluent and grammatically correct, full English sentences, using correct English punctuation. It is a grammar test.

For the second and main part of the examination, students will be allowed to use a clean, monolingual English dictionary. They will have to write a well-organised, academic essay/composition in which they will analyse and comment upon an advertisement. They are not expected to make general comments about advertising remembered from their study of the text book, unless these are specifically relevant to the advertisement given in the examination.

Remember that those students who have to do a total of 4 credits for the third year English examination will do their oral directly with prof. M. Wardle. Those others on this list who have passed the test and need a total of 8 (4+4) credits will do their oral part with me.

For the 3rd year oral:
For the oral examination students are required to bring two copies (photocopies) of two articles on the same subject, of their own choice. One must be from a broadsheet newspaper, the other one from a tabloid. The articles must have been published within the seven days preceding the oral examination. STUDENTS ARE REQUIRED TO COMPARE THE LANGUAGE OF THE ARTICLES. THESE SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN FROM INTERNET.THERE IS AN AMPLE CHOICE OF NEWSPAPERS IN ROME AND IN LARGE TOWNS.

Dates for oral exams (you must enrol by writing an email to wilsonsapienza@libero.it):
20.VI.2011 @ 10.30: ZITO, MAZZA
30.VI.2011 @ 09.00: PELAGALLO M, JIMENEZ, VIOLANI, DI BRINO, LUPO, PONTECORVI


N.B. THOSE STUDENTS WHOSE WRITTEN EXAM WAS TAKEN IN A DIFFERENT SESSION MUST BRING WITH THEM A PRINT-OUT OF THEIR MARK AS ON THIS BLOG.

Those students who have not passed the test are advised to resit in September after a good period of study. They should come to see their papers and find out why they failed the test before starting to bring work during ricevimento and organising a programme of study for the summer.

II year LINGUA exam, students A-D.

There will be two appelli in this summer session. They will be on the following dates:
1st: Thursday 16th June @ 10.30 in aula V (this will also be the appello unico for Prof Plescia's 2nd year students);
2nd: Tuesday 28th June @ 10.30 in aula III.
These are written exams only. A folder in which you should write your name to enrol for the exam is in the corridor of Anglistica in Villa Mirafiori. Please specify if you are prof. Plescia's student when you enrol.

INFOSTUD is ONLY for registration of the complete exam (including lettorato).
