Graduates in Languages and Literatures for Teaching and Translation obtain advanced knowledge and understanding in all the subject areas of their training in order to
1) consolidate and develop their competence in European and American Studies, with particular attention to their literature of specialisation;
2) deepen their knowledge of the two foreign languages chosen, achieving a heightened competence in the language of specialization and an advancement in the second language;
3) reach enhanced awareness of the linguistic features of their language of specialisation, both from a diachronic and a synchronic perspective;
4) reach an adequate knowledge of the most advanced methodologies for the analysis of literary texts;
5) handle confidently the theoretical-practical tools for teaching and for translation.
Filologia slava I Magistrale/ Slavic philology master’s (Level) is one of the characterising modules of the programme. It provides students with basic knowledge of the Old Slavic grammar language, which sets the basis for an introduction to the philological methods of analysis and criticism of the Old Slavic texts. The work on some texts of the Orthodox Slavia’s civilisation will familiarise students with the techniques of philological research, while developing their capacity for a critical appreciation of the text from the viewpoint of its structure, historical-cultural contextualisation and intertextuality.
At the end of the module students will be able to: reflect on texts’ structure, contexualise texts from the historical-cultural and intertextual viewpoint and analyse them philologically.
