3) reach enhanced awareness of the linguistic features of their language of specialisation, both from a diachronic and a synchronic perspective;

Plasmar las ideas. Textualidad y argumentación en la prosa en español/ Shaping ideas. Textuality and argumentation in Spanish prose is one of the characterising modules of the programme. The aim of the course is to hone the advanced communicative and argumentative skills in Spanish, both in written and oral production. This will be carried out through the analysis of a variety of Spanish and/or Hispanic-American prose texts, with a focus on linguistic and argumentative strategies. Learners will also be guided in using the skills they have acquired to carry out translation analysis (in a diachronic or transmedial perspective), and the translation of a selection of texts. In addition, the course provides advanced critical skills and methodologies about the Spanish language, the aim of which is the development of critical awareness, autonomous learning ability and editorial skills in specialized and non-specialized contexts, from an intercultural perspective.
At the end of the module students will be able to: consolidate and put into practice previously acquired linguistic and communicative skills (active, passive and mixed); carry out an independent analysis of linguistically and translationally diverse texts; recognise linguistic varieties, argumentative structures and discursive strategies; reword texts in Spanish and translate and/or adapt texts into Italian; write and present argumentative texts to the class orally; make intercultural and transcultural comparisons; adapt their written and oral production in Spanish and in Italian according to their addressees.

Teacher	MARCELLO ELENA ELISABETTA (syllabus) The focus of the course is non-fiction prose in the Spanish language. After an introduction to the historical and cultural context, the themes, argumentative techniques and linguistic strategies of some of the essays in the bibliography will be analysed. Students will be able to apply the knowledge and skills acquired through a series of assignments, mainly aimed at the writing of short essays and, occasionally, at the analysis of translation problems related to the textual typology under study.
