Objectives
Contents Contents: The course aims to deepen the knowledge acquired in the first year of the course of studies and to consolidate the oral and written communication skills of the specialty language. The course aims at the improvement and consolidation of functional linguistic skills and competences for a correct comprehension, interpretation and, above all, production of written and oral texts of a specialized high level. The emphasis will be placed on the study of a classical Schreibschule (stylistic school) according to Ludwig Reiners. The Schreibschule is a classic work, adapted to this course, mainly used in the training of native German speakers who prepare themselves in professional fields such as journalism. Furthermore, the basic principles of translation of sectoral texts from German to Italian and from Italian to German are taught.
Extended Syllabus Extended program:
- Development of the orality of the German language through oral presentations of topics of high specificity and development of expressive abilities which are suitable for multiple contexts.
- Analysis and production of specialized and sectoral texts
