GERMAN LANGUAGE AND TRANSLATION 2

The course lays the basis of an intercultural dialogue by providing students them with essential tools to communicate within German-speaking countries by developing communicative, linguistic and cultural competence. For this purpose, there will be an organization of the course in a monographic section with lessons dedicated to theory linked with linguistic reflection and analysis by means of a comparative approach. The practical application delivers pragmatic-communicative competence and improves written and oral skills.

The program is divided in two modules: 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.
