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 written-oral skills in reception and production, 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. Spanish Language and Translation I is among the core courses of the "Language and translation" area. The aim of the module is to provide students with level B1 language skills and strategies (based on the CEFR). It also to develop basic metalinguistic competence in the Spanish language with particular regard to phonological and morphological structures, also helping students to develop competences in Spanish/Italian translation. Students will be able to practising acquired language and communication skills (production, comprehension, interaction and mediation); to analyse and understand different types of text, also from a contrastive perspective; reformulate/rephrase the discourse autonomously and acquire intercultural competence
