A.Y. 2023/2024
Learning objectives
The monographic course aims to provide students with the basic notions of theory and method of translation from French into Italian. The theoretical notions are completed by exercises in contrasting grammar and by a practical laboratory focused on translation of prose works texts (Literature and Humanities).
The exercises, dedicated to oral comprehension, the technique of résumé, as well as the preparation of the Diplôme du français du tourisme B2, aim to develop oral and written comprehension and expression skills in the students.
By the end of the course, students are expected to reach B2/C1 level of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).

Course syllabus
The course consists of a monographic course, divided into three teaching units, and a cycle of exercises.
The aim of the course is to develop and attain skills in the field of tourism communication and precise theoretical and practical knowledge of the translation from Italian into French of texts of various kinds (non-fiction, literature, press, video).
The first two teaching units (Prof. Molinari) aim to present tourism communication in its complexity. In particular, the traits that characterise it at lexical and rhetorical level and the discursive strategies will be highlighted. The different textual genres through which tourism communication is expressed will also be presented. Particular attention will be paid to consolidating the skills of understanding written texts and oral production on the topics covered in the course.
The third didactic unit (Prof. Rossi) aims to introduce students to the theory and practice of translation from Italian into French, through an in-depth study of some critical points of translation practice, relating in particular to: the translation of the sense and the letter; the translation of the indefinite clitic pronoun on; the translation of the relative pronoun dont; the translation of the demonstrative pronoun ce; the translation of the participe présent and the gérondif; the temporal uses of the conditional and the translation of the prospective; the use and rendering of subordinating conjunctions.
