in translation.
Course Structure
The course includes a written test preparatory to the oral test which is divided into three parts: 1. Comprehension test of the written text. 2. Translation test in which you will have to analyze a piece in a contrastive perspective in Spanish and its Italian version. 3. Written production test (theme).

Written production test (theme). You will not have to take the final exam if you pass the two ongoing tests.
The oral exam will require topics covered in class and present in the reference texts.

Detailed Course Content
The
Course comprises two modules that have as their guiding thread the translation
from a contrastive prospective. The first will focus on textual and pragmatic
analysis and discourse in order to deepen complex grammatical topics to correct
any fossilized errors in the inter language. Particular attention will be paid
to fundamental linguistic elements in the written expression.
The
second module reconciles the contrastive
study of the Spanish language in relation to the Italian one, both theoretical
and practical and the analysis of the Italian versions from Spanish language
texts.
Linguistic exercises carried out by mother tongue
collaborators are an integral part of the courseTextbook Information
