Spanish Iii
A.Y. 2023/2024
Learning objectives
The course is aimed at strengthening the acquisition of the sociolinguistic competence regarding the diaphasic and contact varieties of the Spanish language, and to develop an adequate metalinguistic reflection. The skills related to the comprehension and production of texts oriented to personal narration (biographical interview and linguistic biography) and to the comprehension and production of different oral genres. The course has a theoretical / descriptive character and uses different research tools (analysis of the discourse, pragmatics and sociolinguistics).
At the same time, the acquisition of the grammatical and syntactical structures of the Spanish language will be promoted until reaching the C1 level of the European Framework, which provides for the domain of oral and written communication in a wide range of specialized topics (politics, economics, social sciences and tourism).

Course syllabus
Part 1: "Bilingualism and languages in contact" (20 hours, I sem.).
The course aims to address the main problems related to bilingualism and social factors influencing language learning. It will be studied, in particular, the situations of contact between Italian and Spanish, and the diffusion of Spanish in the United States. In addition, texts oriented towards personal narrative (life stories and linguistic biography) will be analysed.
Part 2: "Aspects of oral Spanish" (40 hours, II sem.)
Some morphosyntactic, lexical and pragmatic traits in different oral discursive genres will be analyzed.
EXERCISE LANGUAGELESSONS
The course includes exercise languege lessons (60 hours, I and II semester). The exercise language lessons are intended to consolidate and expand the grammatical structures acquired in previous years (with particular attention to the use of verbal periphrases and discourse markers), and to strengthen oral practice. At the end of the course, the student will have to reach a competence not inferior to level C1 of the European Framework, which provides the domain of oral and written communication in a wide range of subjects.
