Learning outcomes

Learning outcomes

The student shows a deep knowledge of the oral and written aspects of Russian language, in synchronic and diacronic perspectives, also applied to text analysis and translation. Thanks to linguistic training the student will develop a communicative competence in all active and passive skills, gaining the level C1 of the European language Framework, which allows him/her to understand the different sociolinguistic and cultural codes involved in communication

Course contents

The course is divided in two parallel parts.

The first part (30 hours) will deal with linguistic and argumentative analysis of printed materials, including particularly complex structures (complex sentence syntax, participles and gerunds, negative and indefinite pronouns, numerals, verbal prefixes). The aim of this course will be the development of analytical skills through writing (analysis).

The second part of the course (30 hours) will focus on analysis and translation of literary texts. Some of the analysed text will be translated, using bilingual and monolingual dictionaries in the proper way. Some significant translation cases will be discussed.

To the theoretical course is combined a practical linguistic training (36 hours), which allows the student to achieve good oral and written skills, referring to the analyzed subjects. The practical course will deal also with phraseology and lexical units, typical of analyzed textual typologies.
