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.

Literatur und Intermedialität/ Literature and intermediality is one of the characterising modules of the programme. The aim of the course is to acquire specialised methodological skills applied to the analysis of texts and literary phenomena from German-speaking countries in their transcultural dimension; at the same time, it allows the acquisition of theoretical and applied tools concerning the didactics of literature, as well as the refining of linguistic-communicative skills. In addition to this, the course develops the ability to autonomously use the most up-to-date theoretical tools for an in-depth analysis of texts and literary phenomena in an intermedial perspective, especially with regard to the adaptation of literary texts for cinema, television, radio, theatre or other audio-visual media.
At the end of the module students will be able to: analyse texts and literary phenomena from German-speaking countries; apply theoretical-applied teaching tools to texts; adapt texts independently; communicate contents in the subject field at an advanced level.

Requirements: students enrolled in other degree programmes are allowed to select this module if they have gained at least 12 CFU in German literature for their bachelor’s degree and can certify the attainment of the B2 level in the German language.
