Università Roma Tre

Graduates in Languages and Literatures for Teaching and Translation obtain advanced knowledge and understanding in all the subject areas of their training in order to
1) consolidate and develop their competence in European and American Studies, with particular attention to their literature of specialisation;
2) deepen their knowledge of the two foreign languages chosen, achieving a heightened competence in the language of specialization and an advancement in the second language;
3) reach enhanced awareness of the linguistic features of their language of specialisation, both from a diachronic and a synchronic perspective;
4) reach an adequate knowledge of the most advanced methodologies for the analysis of literary texts;
5) handle confidently the theoretical-practical tools for teaching and for translation.

Traducir y adaptar para las artes escénicas y los medias/ Translation and adaptation for the performing arts and media is one of the characterising modules of the programme. The module provides advanced knowledge on the theory of translation in a diachronic perspective, and aims at consolidating linguistic-translational skills, which also apply to the intersemiotic and intermedial dimensions. It also allows learners to further consolidate written and oral communication skills at an advanced level (C1+ of the CEFR) and develop the methodological tools that can be used in the teaching of Spanish. The module also hones transversal skills aimed at the development of independent critical opinions, and of an independent and flexible use of the critical tools acquired.
At the end of the module students will be able to: communicate in Spanish in specialized and popular contexts, effectively; carry out an independent analysis of different types of texts (mainly literary) from a linguistic and translational perspective; adapt and translate texts for audio-visual purposes (e.g. select text material, write dialogues and captions, segment and create subtitles in Spanish and in Italian, etc.); recognise linguistic varieties and develop effective translation strategies appropriate to different media; understand the potential of literary texts and adapt their typology to suit cultural events and educational contexts; apply theoretical and methodological tools to teaching contexts.

Requirements: Students must have already taken Plasmar las ideas. Textualidad y argumentación en la prosa en español/ Shaping ideas. Textuality and argumentation in Spanish prose.
