Teaching methods

1. Analysis of authentic documents: Work with real-world materials on topics related to Spanish and Latin American language and culture to develop linguistic skills.

2. Practice of written and oral competence: Exercises focused on both written and oral production and comprehension at C1/C2 levels.

3. Study of lexical fields and idiomatic expressions: Focus on specialized vocabulary and fixed expressions to improve fluency and accuracy.

4. Analysis of advanced grammatical structures: In-depth study of higher-level grammar (C1/C2).

5. Comparative translation exercises: Identification and practice of linguistic differences between Italian and Spanish.

6. Review of specific vocabulary: Study of terminology in areas such as immigration, work, housing, education, and healthcare systems.

These methods combine theoretical and practical approaches, emphasizing contrastive analysis between languages and the use of real-world contexts.
