For both curricula, the international one and the one focused on the teaching of Italian as a second language, 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, with the achievement of a high level of proficiency in the first language and an improved level in the second language for the MULTIPLE curriculum or in the single foreign language chosen for the DIL2 curriculum; 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. The ‘Literature, Arts, Media’ course is one of the characterising modules of the MA programme. It provides advanced critical knowledge and methodologies for analysing literary texts from English-speaking countries, with a focus on their relationship with other arts and media. It also equips students with tools relevant to the teaching of literature. Additionally, the course refines linguistic and communication skills, along with the ability to independently apply key theoretical and literary tools for the in-depth analysis of texts and cultural phenomena. By the end of the course, students should be able to: independently analyse literary texts and phenomena using the theoretical, critical, and pedagogical tools acquired; communicate subject-specific content at an advanced level; apply this knowledge within the cultural, artistic, performative, and entertainment industries. Prerequisites: students from other degree programmes must have completed at least 12 CFU (ECTS credits) in English Literature during their undergraduate studies (BA programme) and provide evidence of a B2 level of English proficiency. This 12-CFU (ECTS) course consists of two modules: Module A and Module B. Students from other degree programmes can choose Module A as a 6-CFU elective course (“esame a scelta”).
