Computer English course

In this course you will improve your knowledge about computers. At the end of the module you will be able to answer these questions:

• What is a computer?

• What are the main components of a computer?

• What does each component do?

• What can people do with a computer?

• What are the principal typologies of programs?

• What are the main steps in the history of computers?

While you are working you can use some Internet resources that will help you resolve problems concerning the unknown words you will find in the texts and the activities of the module. Here are two useful dictonaries you can find on the Web:

http://www.wordreference.com/it/: an online dictionary (English/Italian, Italian English + an English monolingual dictionary).

Tip: before you start working, open the dictionary’s web page and minimize it by clicking on the – sign at the right top corner of the page, so that you can re-open it when you need to check the meaning of a word.
