FRENCH LANGUAGE AND TRANSLATION 2

Knowledge and understanding:

The course aims to acquire knowledge and skills about written and oral reception according to the B1/B2 level of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.

Applying knowledge and understanding:

Thanks to the acquisition of linguistic and cultural skills in French and Francophone areas, students will be able to use and combine knowledge in an interdisciplinary way, and to compare different linguistic and cultural domains.

Making judgment:

By interpreting useful data for formulating independent judgments, students will be able to face problematic situations arising from the comparison between different languages and cultures, and combine knowledge in an interdisciplinary way, orienting themselves in the context of intercultural mediation.

Communication skills:

Students will acquire the ability to express in a complex and articulated way information, opinions, projects and solutions and to effectively communicate in an autonomous way what they learned during the course of studies in mediation working contexts.

Learning skills:

Students will be able to create relationships and to interact with heterogeneous interlocutors in different professional and cultural contexts, in which they will know how to interpret, to understand and to use in autonomous way the formalities of expression and communication. They will also develop the capacity to learn on an ongoing basis, identifying strategies for acquiring new knowledge and skills.
