To deepen the study of the Spanish language and Hispanic culture in order to achieve communicative and sociocultural competence. To this end, the course is divided into three modules: the first module (language) focuses on the study of the grammatical and morphosyntactic functions of Spanish (level B1+); the second module (phraseology and paremiology) will address the formal and semantic characteristics of phraseological and paremiological units at multiple levels (morphological, syntactic, semantic, contrastive [Spanish/Italian], and, in particular, cultural). The third module introduces the study of specialized language: sector-specific (political, economic), technical-scientific (computer science), and slang (social media), through the analysis of original written texts in Spanish and the listening to (YouTube channels, databases, corpora) of authentic oral materials. Structured in this way, the course will allow students to become familiar with the dynamics of language, culture, politics, society, and the economy of the contemporary Spanish-speaking world.
