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.
La literatura española en el espejo del tiempo/ Spanish literature in the mirror of time is one of the characterising modules of the programme. It provides students with advanced methodological and practical tools for the analysis of Spanish literary phenomena in a transcultural dimension and - due to the wide chronological horizon of the module contents - it also allows students to capitalise the knowledge acquired during the bachelor’s degree through a preliminary practical and theoretical focus on questions related to literature and teaching. It also allows students to improve oral exposition in Italian language and linguistic-communicative skills in Spanish language.
At the end of the module, students will be able to: autonomously analyse Spanish texts and literary phenomena in their transcultural dimension; make intertextual and/or intermedia comparisons (i.e. adaptations of literary works for cinema, television, radio, theatre or other media); write and/or present to the class short analytical essays.
Prerequisites: students enrolled in other degree programmes are allowed to select this module if they have gained at least 12 CFU in Spanish Literature in their bachelor’s degree, and can certify the attainment of a B2 level of Spanish.
Note: For LM37 students enrolled in the international learning programme “Estudios Ibéricos e Iberoamericanos” (Spanish – Hispanic-American Literature), this module can be selected as an associated subject (‘materia affine’) to their literature of specialisation.

teacher profile teaching materials
The course focuses on the study of metropolitan, provincial and rural society in post-war Spain in some texts from the contemporary novelistic canon, later adapted for cinema and television. The aim is to refine practical and theoretical skills in the analysis of narrative texts, as well as to provide the necessary tools and methodologies for the study of filmic texts. Finally, an initial reflection will be made on the problems related to the teaching of literature and the integration of audiovisual texts for the development of literary skills in Spanish L2 learners.

The course will be conducted according to different types of assisted teaching, consisting of lectures accompanied by other activities, such as: presentations and/or group work in the classroom, written and/or oral exercises that can be evaluated for the final exam. In the event that the Covid-19 emergency should be prolonged, all the indications provided by the University will be taken into account.Attendance
Active and constant attendance is strongly recommended for an adequate preparation for the exam and for the achievement of the ongoing assessments necessary for the attainment of the required knowledge and critical literary skills. A student who actively attends at least 70% of the lessons and carries out all the partial exercises assigned during the course is considered an attending student. Non-attending students are invited to contact the lecturer at least two months before the exam they intend to sit for: during the interview, all indications and/or support materials for individual study will be provided; in ddition, the written exercises to be delivered to the lecturer no less than 15 days before the chosen examination call will also be indicated. Those who have not followed this procedure will not be allowed to sit the final examination.Type of evaluation
For attending students, an on-going assessment will be carried out by means of individual and/or group exercises assigned in the classroom and which will have a weight equivalent to 70% of the final assessment; the remaining 30% of the skills acquired will be assessed by means of an oral exam. For non-attending students, the final assessment will be based on the result of the oral test and the assessment of the written exercises assigned, which must be handed in to the lecturer no less than 15 days before the call, as stated in the section 'Attendance procedures'. In the case of an extension of the Covid-19 emergency, all the provisions governing the way in which students are assessed will be implemented.
