Catalogo dei Corsi di studio

The exam will be based both on lessons and the whole textbook. It will be a written exam (2 hours - you can use dictionaries - both mono- and bilingual). You will be given six questions and will have to answer three - so you don't need to have attended all the lessons. These questions require answers of c. one paragraph, 5-6 lines and will test content.

There will be one final compulsory question, of a more analytical nature, where you will be given a text and asked to identify any linguistic features studied during the year. Some guidelines will be provided in the question. This question is worth half the marks of the whole paper and should be written as an essay (with introduction, main body and conclusion).

A Common Language
The module will outline a number of theoretical tools for linguistic analysis, including the use of English in a global context (ELF - English as a Lingua Franca) and across a number of different media. Following both a diachronic and a synchronic approach, the course will investigate how English has become a global language, focusing on British and American English. Language variation (due to class, region, age, gender, etc.) will be covered with particular emphasis on text type and context. The aim is to be able to talk about language in English rather than simply being able to speak English.

The course will be taught in English.
To obtain the full 12 credits, the student must also sit the written and oral 'lettorato' exam.

The majority of the course will consist of lectures, introducing the main topics of the module and textual analysis of English-language discourse.
Towards the end of the course, students will be asked to prepare texts (available online during the course) for class discussion. The aim is that of moving from the initial theoretical introduction to a later pratical application of metalinguistic skills.
The course is taught entirely in English - no Italian is necessary to follow the course.

The final exam will be written.

The course aims to provide an overview to Translation Studies, from a historical analysis of translation practice within the English-speaking world to the phase in which it becomes an academic discipline in its own right.
Topics under discussion will include:
- different types of translation (written translation, interpreting, audiovisual translation, localization, etc.);
- professional practice;
- practical translation and strategies;
- main topics within the field (ethics, gender, post-colonialism, paratexts, retranslation, etc.).
 

Language and Gender
By the third year, students are expected to be able to deal with multiple text types, commenting on them from a theoretical point of view.
The aim is to talk about language, rather than simply using language.
This module will focus on the relation between Language and Gender: how gender is developed through language in English; the rise of Politically Correct Language and how far a language can be 'engineered'; changing societal norms and language variation; Gender Neutral Language; Gender Inclusive Language; Non-Binary Language.

L'insegnamento si svolge interamente in lingua inglese

Per maturare 6 cfu, lo studente deve seguire/sostenere sia il modulo docente che la prova scritta/orale di lettorato.
Sia il modulo docente che il lettorato si svolgeranno nel primo semestre.
