Portuguese 2

This course aims to provide students with the basic notions for the analysis of linguistic and socio-cultural aspects characteristic of the Portuguese language (in a diachronic, diatopic and sociolinguistic perspective). A theoretical part is proposed (studying the main theories and problems and analysing the main tools existing for the program in object) and a practical part (in which students are invited to put into practice the elements learned through individual and group on literary texts, newspaper articles, interviews, films and videos).

Knowledge and understanding: to acquire the essential concepts of theory and to learn about the main tools, strategies and methods for the fields in object. Applying knowledge and understanding: to grasp the historical and cultural implications of the evolution of this sector of the program; to know how to reflect critically on the theories and tools learned; knowing how to deal with and analyse different text types included in the considered fields. Achievement of B1 level (and B2 not yet complete for all linguistic-communicative activities) of CEFR.
