English Language and Translation I
(objectives)
One of the main aims of this Course of Study is the acquisition of competences in two foreign languages, which is based on the development of the four active and passive written-oral skills, to analyse the study of intercultural and transcultural phenomena through the tools and methodologies of linguistic and philological analysis, as well as the theory and practice of translation. English Language and Translation I is among the characterizing activities of the "Language and translation" area. The aim of the module is to provide students with level B1 language skills and strategies (based on the CEFR). It also aims to develop the ability to ponder on both the cultural context and the language structures (phonetic and morphological), also helping students to develop competences in English/Italian translation. Students will be able to implement their linguistic and communicative skills (active, passive and mixed) acquired; analyse and understand different types of text, also from a contrastive perspective; reformulate/rephrase the discourse autonomously and acquire intercultural competence.

(syllabus)
The course offers an introduction to the Language analysis of both written and spoken varieties of English with an applied linguistics approach. The course aims to start a reflection on the mechanisms of language and its use in context, thus setting the basis for further development of intra-and interlanguage awareness during the following two years. Taking the basic levels of language description as a starting point, the course will consider their interaction with the textual and the contextual level, from a pragmatical perspective. In details, the first part of the course is devoted to English phonetics and intonation (sounds, connected speech, intonation phrases, stress and tones). The course will then introduce morphological, lexical, and semantic aspects (morphemes, lexemes, paradigmatic and syntagmatical relations, idioms, creative and cognitive metaphors); syntactic aspects, with special regard for the phrase and the clause structure; and the notions of cohesion and coherence. The course ends with a brief introduction to pragmatics.

(syllabus)
The course offers an introduction to the Language analysis of both written and spoken varieties of English, moving from a textual perspective. This aims to start a reflection on the mechanisms of language and its use in context, thus setting the basis for further development of intra- and interlanguage awareness during the following two years. Taking the basic levels of language description (phonetics, lexis and syntax) as a starting point, the course will consider their interaction with the textual and the contextual level, as is typical of the discourse analytical perspective.
