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.
Do e para o português: recursos, ferramentas e estratégias na prática tradutória especializada/ From and to Portuguese: resources, tools and strategies in specialized translation practice is one of the characterising modules of the programme. It provides language knowledge and communication skills in Portuguese (C1+ according to the CEFR) in the diverse dimensions of variation. Particular emphasis will be placed on parameters that affect language use in various socio-cultural and pragmatic contexts. The theoretical study and the consolidation of the ability to analyse specific genres and types of text will be the basis of an approach to translation that takes into account criteria that are external to the text (such as the communicative intention of the sender and the receivers), as well as internal, like cognitive content, the expected recipients’ level of knowledge, lexical and syntactic characteristics, additional elements such as tables, graphs, etc. A part of the module consists in a laboratory that will be focused on translation, particularly on the phases of preparation, development and revision, as well as on finding resources and how to use several support tools.
At the end of the module students will be able to: communicate at a high level of proficiency, both orally and in writing; carry out an independent analysis of the socio-cultural and pragmatic aspects of communication in Portuguese, and of different types of texts; reflect on the translation process; revise texts in Portuguese and translate them into Italian; use tools and bibliographic resources for linguistic-translational analysis and translation appropriately.
Requirements: Students must have already taken O português no mundo: variações diatópicas, proximidades românicas, intercompreensão/ Portuguese language in the world: diatopic variations, romanesque proximities, intercomprehension.
