Training Objectives
Italian:
The general objective is to achieve communicative and socio-cultural competence. The course aims to deepen the study of the Spanish language and Hispanic culture. To this end, we will proceed on three main routes: first, the study of the rules of operation of Spanish (level B1); second, we will address the formal and semantic characteristics of phraseological units at multiple levels (morphological, syntactic, semantic and contrastive and cultural); and third, we will address aspects related to political language.


Prerequisites
Italian:
The course is held by the teacher in Spanish language, therefore to follow the lessons requires a level of knowledge of the language A1 in order to facilitate the acquisition of the necessary linguistic and cultural skills.

In addition, students are required to study the books in the program and the handouts (AA. 2016-2017).
Students who do not attend will have to study the books in the program and the handouts (AA. 2016-2017) and will have to learn an adequate number of phraseologisms (phrases, placements, paremias), as well as explain their meaning, the correspondence in Italian, the origin, the register of use and indicate examples of other similar structures (synonyms).

Teaching Methods
Italian:
The teaching for the Course of Language, Culture and Institutions of the Spanish Language Countries (7 CFU) is divided into three modules: 1) Language, 2) Phraseology and Paremiology and 3) Culture. Module I concerns a review of the main grammar rules of the Spanish language. Module II deals with phraseology and is based on the theoretical and practical study of the phraseological and paremological figures of daily use in a communicative, cultural and contrasting Spanish-Italian perspective. Module III deals with the study of key aspects of political language. The topics will be dealt with frontally and in the form of seminars.
