The course follows the general objectives for the Mastery Level (C2) outlined in the Council of Europe document Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEF) but also has specific objectives connected with the language of the media. Based on the assumption that media are deeply intertwined with life and that an increasing number of people live in media, rather than with media (Deuze 2011), classes will involve the reading and analysis of different media and though traditional forms, like newspapers will be considered, this course will focus specifically on digital and social media, mediatization and media literacy.
In addition, students will expand their vocabulary and improve their knowledge of complex grammatical structures using Cambridge examination materials and IELTS Academic.
