Programmes - Text Analysis & Translation
Depending on options chosen in your Piano di Studi, you will need to attend either the first or the second semester or both. Fuori corso students need to do the Language exam with Prof. Wardle ( Language and Gender) and the Text Analysis lettorato exam with me.
Semester 1 - Text Analysis - 36 hrs (this course is linked to 1048129 – English Language III)
The course aims to further develop the four skills to C1 level with particular emphasis on writing and speaking. Students will develop the skills to carry out a linguistic analysis of persuasive texts. During the course students will also work on developing oral skills and will give group presentations on a persuasive text of their choice. The final exam will be a brief academic essay based on the textual analysis of an advertisement.
Students are expected to do a considerable amount of work as preparation for lessons. Every two-hour lesson requires at least two hours of preparation as private study.
Please consult blog or CLA page (see below) for a more detailed description of the course and the exam format.
Semester 2 - Translation - 36 hrs (this course is linked to 1025916 – Lingua e traduzione inglese III)
Programme
The course aims to further develop the four skills to C1 level with particular emphasis on the comparative analysis of Italian and English grammar . At the end of the course students are expected to be able to apply their grammar knowledge to producing correct written English versions of Italian texts, completing cloze texts and structural transformation exercises. Students will also develop oral paraphrasing skills and will be required to give a group presentation on a comparative analysis of a feature of their choice of the English/ Italian grammar systems. The final exam will be a brief translation ( approx. 200 words) from Italian to English.
