  EXPECTED LEARNING OUTCOMES : The Dublin Descriptors are general statements about the ordinary outcomes that are achieved by students after completing a curriculum of studies and obtaining a qualification. They are neither meant to be prescriptive rules, nor they represent benchmarks or minimal requirements, since they are not comprehensive. The descriptors are conceived to describe the overall nature of the qualification. Furthermore, they are not to be considered disciplines and they are not limited to specific academic or professional areas.

  The Dublin Descriptors consist of the following elements:

• Knowledge and understanding;

• Applying knowledge and understanding;

• Making judgements;

• Communication skills;

• Learning skills.

  The learning outcomes of the Italian first and second cycle degree courses are structured according to the Dublin Descriptors.

  Qualifications that signify completion of the first cycle are awarded to students who:

• have demonstrated knowledge and understanding in a field of study that builds upon their general secondary education, and is typically at a level that, whilst supported by advanced textbooks, includes some aspects that will be informed by knowledge of the forefront of their field of study;

• can apply their knowledge and understanding in a manner that indicates a professional approach to their work or vocation, and have competences typically demonstrated through devising and sustaining arguments and solving problems within their field of study;

• have the ability to gather and interpret relevant data (usually within their field of study) to inform judgments that include reflection on relevant social, scientific or ethical issues;

• can communicate information, ideas, problems and solutions to both specialist and non-specialist audiences;

• have developed those learning skills that are necessary for them to continue to undertake further study with a high degree of autonomy.

  Methodology essentially based on the 4 skills of language learning which are a set of four capabilities that allow an individual to comprehend and produce spoken language for proper and effective interpersonal communication. These skills are Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing. When we learn our native language, first we listen, then we speak, then we read and finally we write. Listening, speaking, reading and writing are the four language skills we need to develop for complete communication. Listening and reading are receptive: input, i.e. the exposure you have to authentic language in use. But the hardest skill is speaking. Speaking combines the hard parts of writing and listening: it requires much more in-depth knowledge of the grammar, and it requires you to use this knowledge in real time. 

• The learning outcomes common to all qualifications of the same cycle are described by a set of general descriptors, which must reflect the wide range of disciplines and profiles and must be able to summarize the variety of features of each National Higher Education System. After the Ministerial Conference in Prague (2001), a group of experts from different countries drafted a series of descriptors for the three Bologna Process cycles, which will later become known as the Dublin Descriptors.

  
  

Knowledge of the language beyond that assumed in any bachelor's degree is required. Knowledge has to be already at the "threshold level" (in English threshold) CEFR.
