Academic Year 2017/2018

Learning outcomes

Students show an advanced competency in the Russian language that allows them to move confidently in all communicative spheres as well as to carry out their professional activities in Russian-speaking contexts. They know the morphosyntactic structures of the language in a deepened way and are familiar with the lexical, stylistic and pragmatic analysis of great complexity oral and written texts that may include substandard and specialized languages. Their linguistic competence progress indicatively up to the level C1 of the Common European Framework of Reference, which allows students to effectively interpret the partner-linguistic and cultural codes in any subject within a communicative relationship.

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 and summary).

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 translational 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.
