Graduates in Languages and Literatures for Teaching and Cultural Professions 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 specialisation 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. Plasmar las ideas. Argumentación y textualidad en la prosa en español/ Shaping ideas. Argumentation and textuality in Spanish prose is one of the characterising modules of the programme. The aim of the course is to hone the advanced communicative and argumentative skills in Spanish, both in written and oral production and to develop metalinguistic competence at a semantic-pragmatic level, through the analysis of prose texts of different types written in Spanish and through reflection on the linguistic and argumentative strategies present in them. At the same time, the student will be guided in the translanguaging analysis, also in a diachronic or transmedia perspective, limited to a selection of texts, on which he will be able to apply the acquired skills. In addition, the course provides advanced critical skills and methodologies about the Spanish language, the aim of which is the development of critical awareness, autonomous learning ability and editorial skills in specialized and non-specialized contexts, from an intercultural perspective. At the end of the module students will be able to: consolidate and put into practice previously acquired linguistic and communicative skills (active, passive and mixed); carry out an independent analysis of linguistically and translationally diverse texts; recognise linguistic varieties, argumentative structures and discursive strategies; reword texts in Spanish; write and present argumentative texts to the class orally; make intercultural and transcultural comparisons; adapt their written and oral production in Spanish and in Italian according to their addressees.

Programme
The aim of the course is to analyse texts in Spanish from the perspective of pragmatics and discourse analysis, paying particular attention to argumentative resources and their linguistic strategies. The proposed theoretical framework will be studied with the support of the analysis of a series of texts selected by the lecturer; later, it will be applied to a series of Spanish texts and essays reflecting on the role of language and culture in Spain in the first half of the 20th century.Core Documentation

The course will take place during the second semester and will be seminar-based. Regular attendance, strongly recommended, will guide the student in personal study, which is in any case essential. Lectures, combining theory and practice, will be supported by activities and in itinere tests, monitored for final assessment purposes. The knowledge and skills acquired will be applied through a series of works aimed at analysing linguistic strategies.Type of evaluation
Attendance, student work and final examination. The final result of the examination will be determined, for those attending, by the following points: 1) Regular and active attendance with satisfactory completion of the work and in itinere tests assigned during the course (50%); 2) Passing of the oral examination with any modifications to the programme agreed on the basis of what was done in the classroom (50%). The final result of the examination will be determined, for non-attending students, by the following points: 1) An in-person interview with the lecturer to be held at least three months before the start of the session in order to agree on any additions to the syllabus to make up for the information and methodological tools provided in the classroom for attending students; 2) Completion of the tests and exercises included in the bibliography and/or inserted on Teams/Moodle for the self-study of non-attending students with the consequent checks agreed with the lecturer during the first interview. 3) Passing of the oral examination. teacher profile teaching materials
