L'argomento Landmarks è un testo rivolto in particolare agli studenti dei corsi con indirizzo Costruzioni, Ambiente e Territorio e, più in generale a tutti coloro che hanno l’esigenza di utilizzare la lingua inglese come strumento di studio e/o di lavoro in questi settori. La struttura Landmarks è diviso in otto Moduli, ognuno dei quali è ripartito in due sezioni: Unità del Modulo – Contiene testi e attività che riguardano i contenuti specifici della specializzazione già affrontati in L1. Ogni Unità è suddivisa in brevi Capitoli su due pagine – teoria ed esercizi – per favorire sia uno studio più parcellizzato, sia la scelta antologica da parte dell’insegnante. I contenuti dei capitoli sono enucleati, cioè sono divisi in più paragrafi titolati per rendere la comprensione più agevole. Brevi link (verdi per i link attivi con attività, arancioni per quelli informativi senza attività) arricchiscono i brani per consentire una maggiore interattività con gli allievi. Alcune rubriche di approfondimento o curiosità, inoltre, permettono di ampliare le conoscenze sugli argomenti. Un ricco apparato iconografico correda i brani di lettura, per ognuno dei quali è previsto un esauriente glossario. Ogni Unità si chiude con una pagina di grammatica e una dedicata ad un’abilità linguistica. Alcune pagine sono strutturate secondo le indicazioni delle Prove Nazionali INVALSI.

clil PHYSICAL EDUCATION THE OLYMPIC GAMES The Olympic Games began at Olympia in Greece in 776 BC. The games were held every four years from 776 BC to 393 AD. The ancient Olympic Games lasted for 1170 years. The successful campaign to revive the Olympics was started in France by Baron Pierre de Coubertin late in the 19th century. The first of the modern Summer Games opened in 1896, in Athens, Greece. The Winter Games were added in 1924. World War I and World War II forced cancellation of the Olympics in 1916, 1940, and 1944, but they started again in 1948 and are held every four years. The first Paralympic Games took place in September 1960 in Rome, after the closing of the Olympic Games. Hosting the Olympic Games* can be a challenging and exciting experience for a city with advantages and disadvantages to take into consideration. However, if the Games are well managed, the host city should be able to make a very profitable business from them.
