One of the main aims of this Course of Study is the acquisition of competences in two foreign languages, which is based on the development of the four active and passive written-oral skills, to analyse the study of intercultural and transcultural phenomena through the tools and methodologies of linguistic and philological analysis, as well as the theory and practice of translation.
English Language and Translation III is amongst the distinguishing activities of the "Language and translation" area. The aim of the module is to provide students with level C1 (based on the CEFR) and to enhance their language strategies. It also aims at developing their ability to move in the linguistic context, both at a diachronic and a diatopic level, and to consolidate their metatextual consideration skills.
Students will be able to put into practice the acquired linguistic and communicative skills (active, passive and mixed); delve deeper in translation problems related to different textual genres, also in a transmedia perspective; interpret reality in a multilingual and multicultural perspective thanks to a strengthened intercultural competence; they will also possess consolidated communicative and argumentative skills.
Pre-requisite: English Language and Translation II.
