GERMAN LANGUAGE AND TRANSLATION 2

The course, held in German, consists of 36 hours of lessons, is complemented by the language practice classes taught by the C.E.L. staff (Collaboratrici ed Esperte Linguistiche). Attendance is not compulsory but strongly recommended.

The program is divided in two parts: the first is dedicated to the acquisition of language skills of advanced degree (level B1-2 of the Common European Framework of Reference) with reflection of elements of German linguistics (types of sentences, syntagma, dependency grammar, verb valency, syntactic categories and functions); the second one covers development and trends of contemporary German which are analyzed from a sociolinguistic and pragmalinguistic perspective.
