Educational objectives

rman between Language, Culture and Society" is the title of this course (9 CFU), the objectives of which have a dual character:

(i) The educational objective of the monographic course is to promote the competence and sensitivity useful for adequately addressing the encounter with the German language and culture. Through the semantic analysis of culturally connoted or politically used words, we will study those values and codes that represent potential factors of misunderstanding between Italians and Germans. The work on the ability to mediate cultural aspects of the German-speaking world will go hand in hand with the lexical and grammatical expansion, obtained by developing the ability to read, understand and interpret texts.
