The course aims to improve the knowledge of the Spanish language and to put into practice the various theories of translation, applied to the cross-cultural dimension of Spanish-speaking countries. Through the guided translation of literary and non-fiction texts that are typologically and diachronically differentiated, the course aims to refine their ability to analyze and interpret texts with their linguistic and cultural implications.
At the end of the course, students will have to:
reach the level of linguistic competence envisaged for the two years (1st year attainment of level C1; 2nd year attainment of level C2)
demonstrate a good knowledge of the variants of American Spanish (also relating to uses, customs and social codes)
have developed good translation skills.
