b) ability to use mediation and translation strategies;
b.1) analysis, translation and production of short texts belonging to different textual genres and produced in a number of specialised sectors (workshop);
c) application of acquired knowledge to different textual typologies;
d) (spoken and written) mediation competences within multilingual and multicultural interaction contexts;
