Practical Italian Language Learning 3 - Listening and Conversation WH-FW-I-2-PNJW-SK
The course is intended for students with an A2 level of Italian who are developing their language competence towards B1 level in accordance with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). The main objective of the course is to develop listening comprehension and oral communication skills in Italian.
The course focuses on working with both authentic and instructional audio and audiovisual materials, such as dialogues, interviews, podcasts, radio programmes, and films. Students develop their ability to understand the main ideas and relevant details of spoken texts dealing primarily with everyday life, studies, interests, and other topics appropriate to the B1 level.
An important component of the course is the development of fluency, accuracy, and confidence in oral communication. Through picture descriptions, dialogues, discussions, role-playing activities, and other conversational exercises, students learn to use acquired vocabulary and grammatical structures in a variety of communicative situations. Particular attention is paid to linguistic accuracy, pronunciation, and intonation.
During the course, students also develop the ability to express their own opinions, describe events and experiences, answer questions, and respond appropriately to their interlocutor.
By the end of the course, students should be able to understand spoken texts and recordings appropriate to the B1 level and actively participate in conversations on familiar and everyday topics, producing coherent and communicatively effective utterances using appropriate lexical and grammatical structures.

Assessment criteria
FW1_W10 – Knowledge and understanding of the meaning and function of language structures, with particular emphasis on their semantic dimension
Grade 5.0 (Very Good): The student demonstrates a very good ability to recognise and understand the meaning and function of lexical and grammatical structures occurring in spoken texts at B1 level, accurately interprets differences in meaning resulting from context, and correctly analyses their use.
Grade 4.5 (Good Plus): The student demonstrates a very good ability to recognise and understand the meaning of most of the structures covered and correctly interprets their use in context; minor errors occur only occasionally.
Grade 4.0 (Good): The student demonstrates a good ability to recognise and understand the structures covered and their meaning in typical communicative contexts, although they may have difficulty with more complex examples.
Grade 3.5 (Satisfactory Plus): The student recognises basic structures and understands their meaning but does not always correctly interpret differences resulting from context.
Grade 3.0 (Satisfactory): The student demonstrates a sufficient ability to recognise basic lexical and grammatical structures and understand their meaning in typical spoken texts at B1 level.

Grade 4.5 (Good Plus): The student demonstrates a very good understanding of most spoken texts at B1 level and communicates fluently and accurately; occasional errors do not interfere with communication.
Grade 4.0 (Good): The student understands the main ideas and most relevant details of spoken texts, is able to conduct a conversation and produce coherent spoken responses, and makes only a limited number of errors that do not hinder communication.
Grade 3.5 (Satisfactory Plus): The student understands the general meaning and basic information contained in spoken texts and is able to participate in conversation; however, their responses are less fluent and less developed and contain lexical or grammatical errors.
Grade 3.0 (Satisfactory): The student understands the basic content of spoken texts and is able to communicate in typical situations at B1 level; however, their responses are simple, and their fluency and range of linguistic resources are limited.
FW1_K01 – Readiness to continuously develop and critically evaluate one’s knowledge
Grade 5.0 (Very Good): The student systematically and independently develops their language competences, actively makes use of feedback, accurately identifies their own errors and areas requiring further improvement, and takes appropriate steps to address them.
Grade 4.5 (Good Plus): The student systematically develops their competences, makes very effective use of feedback, and is able to assess their own progress; occasional guidance from the instructor may be required.
Grade 4.0 (Good): The student regularly works on developing their competences, makes use of feedback, and is able to identify the main areas requiring further improvement.
Grade 3.5 (Satisfactory Plus): The student takes steps to develop their language competences and makes partial use of the feedback received, but their self-assessment and consistency are uneven.
