ECTS credit allocation (and other scores):	2.00 Basic information on ECTS credits allocation principles: the annual hourly workload of the student’s work required to achieve the expected learning outcomes for a given stage is 1500-1800h, corresponding to 60 ECTS; the student’s weekly hourly workload is 45 h; 1 ECTS point corresponds to 25-30 hours of student work needed to achieve the assumed learning outcomes; weekly student workload necessary to achieve the assumed learning outcomes allows to obtain 1.5 ECTS; work required to pass the course, which has been assigned 3 ECTS, constitutes 10% of the semester student load.
Language:	Italian
Type of course:	obligatory courses
Prerequisites (description):	The course is dedicated to the 1 year students of the firs cycle who study Italian as a second foreign language - C. Students are expected to have basic knowledge of Polish practical grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation.
Mode:	Blended learning Classroom
Short description:	The course aims at providing students with basic phonetic and phonologic notions in terms of a contrastive approach (Polish language vs Italian language). It constitutes a theoretical framework for practical language courses (communicative language competences) as far as the correct pronunciation is concerned. It enables students to master the pronunciation of Italian language. During the course they also gain knowledge ot Italian community repertoire with the particular focus on Italian standard language, local varieties and numerous dialects.
Full description:	Classes are devoted to learning the principles of the correct pronunciation of the Italian language and the proper way of stressing. Phonematic transcription elements are also introduced. The course is practical; students use audiovisual teaching materials that consolidate appropriate pronunciation features. Particular emphasis is placed on the accent, which in Italian is characterized by mobility. The most important aspects of syntactic phonetics are also presented. The course ends with a discussion of the most important Italian dialects and their phonetic feature. The Course covers the following topics: (1) word stress, sentence stress, Italian prosodic qualities, (2) classification of the Italian phonemes and sound system in general, (3) texts reading, (4) Italian prosodic features, (5) basic principles of Italian phonetic transcription - exercises, (6) Italian community language repertoire: the concept of standard, local varieties and dialects. The knowledge of Italian sound system will allow students to improve their pronunciation, consciously avoid making mistakes typical of Polish speakers, as well as analyse and correct mistakes committed by their future students (in the case of choosing a teaching profession). The students attending the Course will gain awareness of the complexity of Italian sound system and diversity ot language varieties present on the Italian peninsula. Course workload for 2 ECTS: - 30 hrs: in-class participation and work during the course = 1 ECTS - 15 hrs: regular self-study (homework), - 15 hrs: preparation for the midterm and final test = 1 ECTS

Learning outcomes:	After completing the course the student is expected to: KNOWLEDGE: - know the specifics of Italian language as a system, have basic knowledge of importance and role of phonetics and phonology in language studies and understand their subject character (K1_W01), - know basic terminology of phonetics and phonology (K1_W02), - know and understand contemporary phonetics and phonology objects of study, have systematised knowledge of theory and research methodology with particular regard to Italian language. SKILLS: - be able to communicate in a correct Italian language in typical communicative situations which require given techniques, strategies and the use of different communicate channels (K1_U05), - know Italian language at B1-B2 level (CEFR): is able to stress the correct syllables in given Italian words, appropriately pronounce Italian language sounds, indicate the stressed syllables by using dictionaries, maintain the intonation patterns in order to convey a given meaning (K1_U09), - explain key differences in pronunciation of Polish and Italian language sounds; - be able to use Italian phonetic transcription. SOCIO-CULTURAL COMPETENCY: - be ready to identify and solve the problems of interlanguage communication concerning asymmetry of the sound systems in Polish and Italian language, observing behaviour patterns and consulting experts (K1_K01), - be ready to critically assess their own state of knowledge within Italian phonetics and phonology research objects, recognise the importance of research discussion in problem solving within the field (K1_K02).
Assessment methods and assessment criteria:	The students’ achievements are assessed in accordance with the following methods: - performing in-class, homework assignments and preparation for class: 25% - midterm test and reading: 25% - a written exam after completing the semester: 50% The written test results are established in accordance with the following scale: over 95% - 5! 90%-95% – 5 85%-89% – 4+ 80%-84% – 4 70%-79% – 3+ 60%-69% – 3 The reading assessment depends on the number of committed mistakes within: (1) Italian sounds (2) word stress, (3) intonation.
